Job 2:1-6

Listen to Job 2:1-6
1 Or, les fils de Dieu vinrent un jour se présenter devant l'Eternel, et Satan vint aussi au milieu d'eux se présenter devant l'Eternel.
2 L'Eternel dit à Satan: D'où viens-tu? Et Satan répondit à l'Eternel: De parcourir la terre et de m'y promener.
3 L'Eternel dit à Satan: As-tu remarqué mon serviteur Job? Il n'y a personne comme lui sur la terre; c'est un homme intègre et droit, craignant Dieu, et se détournant du mal. Il demeure ferme dans son intégrité, et tu m'excites à le perdre sans motif.
4 Et Satan répondit à l'Eternel: Peau pour peau! tout ce que possède un homme, il le donne pour sa vie.
5 Mais étends ta main, touche à ses os et à sa chair, et je suis sûr qu'il te maudit en face.
6 L'Eternel dit à Satan: Voici, je te le livre: seulement, épargne sa vie.

Job 2:1-6 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.
