Job 2:7-10

7 egressus igitur Satan a facie Domini percussit Iob ulcere pessimo a planta pedis usque ad verticem eius
8 qui testa saniem deradebat sedens in sterquilinio
9 dixit autem illi uxor sua adhuc tu permanes in simplicitate tua benedic Deo et morere
10 qui ait ad illam quasi una de stultis locuta es si bona suscepimus de manu Domini quare mala non suscipiamus in omnibus his non peccavit Iob labiis suis

Job 2:7-10 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 2

This chapter gives an account of a second trial of Job's constancy and integrity, the time and occasion of it, Job 2:1-3; the motion made for it by Satan, which being granted, he smote him from head to foot with sore boils, which he endured very patiently, Job 2:4-8; during which sad affliction he is urged by his wife to give up his integrity, which he bravely resisted, Job 2:9,10; and the chapter is concluded with an account of a visit of three of Job's friends, and of their conduct and behaviour towards him, Job 2:11-13.
