Job 1:6-13

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 1:9

Job 1:9. Doth Job serve God for naught? That is, sincerely and freely, and out of pure love and respect to thee? No: it is policy, not piety, that makes him good: he doth not serve thee, but serves himself of thee; and is a mere mercenary creature, serving thee for his own ends. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 1:10

Job 1:10. Hast thou not made a hedge about him? Protected him with a thorny and inaccessible defence, or secured him, by thy special care and providence, from all harm and inconveniences? which is sufficient to oblige and win persons of the worst tempers; and about his house His children and servants; about all that he hath on every side His whole property, which is all under thy protection.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 1:1-22

1:1-2:13 SATAN TESTS JOBFrom prosperity to ruin (1:1-22)A popular belief in ancient times was that prosperity and well-being were proofs of godliness, but poverty and suffering were proofs of ungodliness. They were signs that God was either rewarding or punishing a person, according to whether that person’s life was good or bad. The book of Job contradicts this belief.
