Job 2:3 NIV,NKJV

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 2:3

Still, notwithstanding all his trials and tribulations, and thy malicious suggestion to the contrary, he holdeth fast his integrity, i.e. he continues to be the same perfect and upright man which he was before. All thy endeavours to pull away his integrity have made him only to hold it the faster. Thou movedst me, i.e. didst persuade me, and prevailed with me to do it. But this, as the rest of this representation, is not to be understood properly, as if God could be moved by any of his... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 2:1-6

NotesJob 2:4. “Skin for skin; yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.” The expression “skin for skin” acknowledged to be a proverbial one. Its precise meaning not so obvious, though its general drift, as used by the Evil One, is sufficiently apparent. The Septuagint and Vulgate translate as we do; the one rendering the preposition by ὑπερ, and the other by pro. The Chaldaic has: “Member for member.” So BERNARD, who renders the words: “Limb for limb.” Martin’s French Version has:... 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

Job 2:1-10And Satan came also among them. Spiritual agencies, good and evil, in sicknessThis is one of those mysterious chapters of Holy Scripture wherein God hath graciously vouchsafed, for the strengthening of our faith and loving trust in Him, a brief glimpse of that which is continually going on, day by day, in regions mysterious to mortal vision, and in which, could we but at all times feel it, we are so greatly concerned. Scripture is consistent in its testimony throughout--that there is... read more

Job 2:3Still he holdeth fast his integrity.A commendation of Job’s integrity1. Constancy in piety, notwithstanding the sharp temptations of an afflicted condition, is a singular commendation in God’s esteem; for hereby Job so acquits himself that the old characters of his piety are not sufficient without this new addition to his commendation (1 Peter 1:7). And the reason of this is insinuated in the word “holding fast,” which in the original imports a retaining and holding of a thing firmly and... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 2:3

Job 2:3 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. Ver. 3. And the Lord said unto Satan ] Before he would condemn him he thus interrogateth him (which he would not vouchsafe to do when he had deceived our first parents, Gen 3:14 ), but with a very... read more
