¹ Againe there was a day when the sonnes of God came to present themselues before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himselfe before the Lord.

² And the Lord said vnto Satan, From whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to & fro in the earth, and from walking vp and downe in it.

³ And the Lord said vnto Satan, Hast thou considered my seruant Iob, that there is none like him in the earth; a perfect and an vpright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill? and still hee holdeth fast his integritie, although thou moouedst mee against him, to destroy him without cause.

⁴ And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skinne for skinne, yea all that a man hath, wil he giue for his life.

⁵ But put foorth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

⁶ And the Lord said vnto Satan, Behold, hee is in thine hand, but saue his life.

⁷ ¶ So went Satan foorth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Iob with sore biles, from the sole of his foote vnto his crowne.

⁸ And hee tooke him a potsheard to scrape himselfe withall; and hee sate downe among the ashes.

⁹ ¶ Then saide his wife vnto him, Doest thou still reteine thine integritie? Curse God, and die.

¹⁰ But he said vnto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh; what? shall wee receiue good at the hand of God, and shall wee not receiue euill? In all this did not Iob sinne with his lippes.

¹¹ ¶ Now when Iobs three friends heard of all this euill, that was come vpon him, they came euery one from his owne place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; for they had made an appointment together to come to mourne with him, and to comfort him.

¹² And when they lift vp their eyes afarre off, and knew him not, they lifted vp their voice, and wept; and they rent euery one his mantle, and sprinckled dust vpon their heades toward heauen.

¹³ So they sate downe with him vpon the ground seuen dayes, and seuen nights, and none spake a word vnto him; for they saw that his griefe was very great.

Job brings me to the realization that there is nothing our God can't do. Job made the decision to serve God through all these trials. God alone brought him through. How great is our God!

Nita Wallace's Job Chapter 2 comment on 5/16/2013, 7:50pm...

Each and everyday I pray that we who profess to be Christians would have the Faith that Job had when it comes to our believing that God will heal us spiritually, mentally, physically and financially. He is a man of his word, and Job knew that.

In other versions of the Bible, it says, when Job's wife came to him and told him to curse God and die, yes they also say , " you sound like a foolish woman", but they also say Job replied, "get behind me satan". .???

This has so many reminders to me:
1. The devil must go through God for everything he's allowed to bestow upon man; and
2. God doesn't give us more than we may bare.

l pray that my faith grows to such a high level as Job's especially in these trying times.

Delvin Scott's Job Chapter 2 comment on 8/28/2012, 5:49am...

Job; reminds us that our faith in God is more important than the things we have. problem is can he trust us to prove that point ?,todays christians are too materialistic.as for me my salvation is most important,and God allways best.Remember Matt. 6:19 -34
