Job 2:7-10

7 Et Satan se retira de devant la face de l'Eternel. Puis il frappa Job d'un ulcère malin, depuis la plante du pied jusqu'au sommet de la tête.

8 Et Job prit un tesson pour se gratter et s'assit sur la cendre.

9 Sa femme lui dit: Tu demeures ferme dans ton intégrité! Maudis Dieu, et meurs!

10 Mais Job lui répondit: Tu parles comme une femme insensée. Quoi! nous recevons de Dieu le bien, et nous ne recevrions pas aussi le mal! En tout cela Job ne pécha point par ses lèvres.

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.
