Job 1:8

And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered? literally. Hast thou set thine heart on? equivalent to "Hast thou given thine attention to?" (comp. Isaiah 41:22 ; Haggai 1:5 , Haggai 1:7 ). My servant Job ; i.e. "my true servant, faithful in all that he does" (comp. Hebrews 3:5 ). It is a high honour to any man for God to acknowledge him as his servant (see Joshua 1:2 ; 1 Kings 11:13 , etc.). That there is none like him in the earth ; rather, for there is none like him (see the Revised Version). This is given as a reason why Satan should have paid special attention to his case, and is a sort of challenge: "Thou that art always spying out some defect or other in a righteous man, hast thou noted my servant Job, and discovered any fault in him?" A perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil (see the comment on verse 1).
