Hiob 2:9-10

9 Da sprach sein Weib zu ihm: Hältst du noch fest an deiner Vollkommenheit? Sage dich los von Gott und stirb!

10 Und er sprach zu ihr: Du redest, wie eine der Törinnen redet. Wir sollten das Gute von Gott annehmen, und das Böse sollten wir nicht auch annehmen? Bei diesem allem sündigte Hiob nicht mit seinen Lippen.

Hiob 2:9-10 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.
