Biblical Studies Press, 2005) ### Satan’s Additional Charge [[#Verse 01.]] Again the day came when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also arrived among them to present himself before the Lord.  [[#Verse 02.]] And the Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the Lord, “From roving about on the earth, and from walking back and forth across it.”  [[#Verse 03.]] Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a pure and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, so that you stirred me up to destroy him without reason.” [[#Verse 04.]] But Satan answered the Lord, “Skin for skin! Indeed, a man will give up all that he has to save his life.  [[#Verse 05.]] But extend your hand and strike his bone and his flesh, and he will no doubt curse you to your face!” [[#Verse 06.]] So the Lord said to Satan, “All right, he is in your power; only preserve his life.” ### Job’s Integrity in Suffering [[#Verse 07.]] So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and he afflicted Job with a malignant ulcer from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.  [[#Verse 08.]] Job took a shard of broken pottery to scrape himself with while he was sitting among the ashes. [[#Verse 09.]] Then his wife said to him, “Are you still holding firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die!”  [[#Verse 10.]] But he replied, “You’re talking like one of the godless women would do! Should we receive what is good from God, and not also receive what is evil?” In all this Job did not sin by what he said. ### The Visit of Job’s Friends [[#Verse 11.]] When Job’s three friends heard about all this calamity that had happened to him, each of them came from his own country—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They met together to come to show sympathy for him and to console him. [[#Verse 12.]] But when they gazed intently from a distance but did not recognize him, they began to weep loudly. Each of them tore his robes, and they threw dust into the air over their heads.  [[#Verse 13.]] Then they sat down with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, yet no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great. ## ==📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary== ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ###### Verse 11. ###### Verse 12. ###### Verse 13. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write down things that are not straight from commentary but interesting facts that ground the text in history. %% ## 🧠 Chapter Summary - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) summarizing what happens in this chapter. - What is the main event or teaching? - How does this chapter fit the book’s overall story? - What stands out immediately?
