Job 2:7-8

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 2:1-13

“Among the Ashes” Job 2:1-13 It gives God deep pleasure when He can point to one of His servants who has borne fiery trial with unwavering patience and faith. The adversary comes back from his restless, ceaseless rounds, 1 Peter 5:8 ; but there is one soul at least which has resisted his worst attacks. Observing Job, the principalities and powers in the heavenly places have learned that God can make a man love Him, not for His gifts, but for Himself, Ephesians 3:10 . The adversary suggests a... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 2:1-13

Again the solemn council met, and again Satan was present. The Most High uttered the same estimate of His servant as before, adding thereto a declaration of Job's victory in the conflict which had taken place. The adversary declared that the limits which God had set had hindered him in the accomplishment of his purpose. Though Job had triumphed over his loss of possession, he was not therefore proven loyal to God. The essential greatness of the man was unimpaired in that his own life had not... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Job 2:1-9

Heaven's Controversy Concerning Job Job 2:1-9 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. God's everlasting eye watches over His children. When Satan made his second entrance into the presence of God, he discovered that the Lord had observed the fidelity of His servant, that His eye was upon him, and that He still had nothing but endorsement for His servant. Before we take up the results of Satan's second challenge to God concerning Job's fidelity, we wish to carry you into the consideration of God's all-seeing... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Job 2:7

JOB’S TWO FOES AND THREE FRIENDS‘Satan … his wife … Job’s three friends.’ Job 2:7; Job 2:9; Job 2:11 The outward calamities from which Job first suffered are narrated in chapter 1. Affliction, affecting Job’s property and even family, failed to destroy his religious integrity.Then Satan says that the test has not been a complete and a sufficient one. You do not really try a man by touching his outward circumstances, only by touching his body and putting in peril his life. God even permits... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 2:1-10

Job 2:1-2 Samuel : . The Narrative of the Second Conversation between Yahweh and the Satan and its Issues.— Again the heavenly council comes together, and Yahweh reproaches the Satan with instigating Him to bring undeserved affliction on Job. The terrible trial has been shown to be unnecessary. Job still holds fast his integrity. Satan’ s answer is ready. He speaks impudently, using a common proverb, the origin of which, however, we do not know. Perhaps, says Duhm, the Bedouin may have... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 2:7

Like those inflicted upon the Egyptians, which are expressed by the same word, and threatened to apostate Israelites, Deuteronomy 28:27, whereby he was made loathsome to himself and to his nearest relations, Deuteronomy 19:13,Deuteronomy 19:19, and a visible monument of Divine displeasure, and filled with tiring and consuming pains in his body, and no less torment and anguish in his mind. From the sole of his foot unto his crown; in all the outward parts of his body. His tongue he spared, that... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 2:8

He took him a potsherd; partly to allay the itch which his ulcers caused; and partly to squeeze out or take away that purulent matter which was under them, or flowed from them, and was the great cause of his torment. And this he did not with soft linen cloths, either because he had not now a sufficient quantity of them for so much use, or because therein he must have had the help of others, who abhorred to come near him, Job 19:13-15; nor with his own hands or fingers, which were also ulcerous,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 2:7-10

NotesJob 2:7. “Smote Job with sore boils.” The Septuagint and Vulgate, followed by MARTIN and DIODATI in their French and Italian versions, render the words which describe Job’s disease, “a bad or malignant ulcer.” The word שְׁחִין (shekheen) which we render “boils,” derived from a root not used in Hebrew, but appearing in the Arabic سَخَن (sakhana) to be hot, inflamed, fevered. Job’s disease, according to GESENIUS, NOYES, and others, a kind of black leprosy, formerly prevailing in Egypt... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 2:1-13

Chapter 2So back again to the heavenly scene.Another day and again the sons of God are presenting themselves before Jehovah, and Satan is coming with them to present himself before the LORD ( Job 2:1 ).I have to say concerning Satan, I do... well, what do you say, admire? This guy has a lot of chutzpah. I mean, to go in and stand before God, to present himself before God takes quite a bit.And God again said, [Hey,] where have you been? ( Job 2:2 )As though God doesn't know.He said, [Oh, I've... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 2:1-13

Job 2:1 . There was a day when the sons of God &c. As on the former chapter, Job 2:6. Job 2:4 . Skin for skin. Septuagint, “skin after skin.” Men’s riches in the first periods of society very much consisted in cattle and skins; and the honest man would sooner give up his skins to the Arabian robbers than his life. But as the Hebrew language labours under many difficulties from the bearing of its prepositions, those who follow the LXX, “skin after skin,” make the sense to be, that... read more
