SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:8
Y el SEÑOR dijo a Satanás: ¿No has considerado a mi siervo Job, que no hay otro como él en la tierra, varón perfecto y recto, temeroso de Dios, y apartado de mal?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 1:8
Verse 8. Hast thou considered my servant Job ] Literally, Hast thou placed thy heart on my servant Job? Hast thou viewed his conduct with attention, whilst thou wert roaming about, seeking whom thou mightest devour? viz., the careless, prayerless, and profligate in general.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-12 - Job's afflictions began from the malice of Satan, by the Lord' permission, for wise and holy purposes. There is an evil spirit, the enemy of God, and of all righteousness, who is continually seeking to distress, to lead astray, and, if possible, to destroy those who love God. How far his influence may extend, we cannot say; but probably muc unsteadiness and unhappiness in Christians may be ascribed to him While we are on this earth we are within his reach. Hence it concern us to be sober and vigilant, 1Pe 5:8. See how Satan censures Job. Thi is the common way of slanderers, to suggest that which they have n reason to think is true. But as there is nothing we should dread mor than really being hypocrites, so there is nothing we need dread les than being called and counted so without cause. It is not wrong to loo at the eternal recompence in our obedience; but it is wrong to aim a worldly advantages in our religion. God's people are taken under his special protection; they, and all that belong to them. The blessing of the Lord makes rich; Satan himself owns it. God suffered Job to be tried, as he suffered Peter to be sifted. It is our comfort that God has the devil in a chain, Re 20:1. He has no power to lead men to sin but what they give him themselves; nor any power to afflict men, but what is given him from above. All this is here described to us afte the manner of men. The Scripture speaks thus to teach us that God directs the affairs of the world.
