Job 2:9 - Arno Geneva Study Bible

Bible Comments

Then said his (k) wife unto him, Dost thou (l) still retain thine integrity? (m) curse God, and die.

(k) Satan uses the same instrument against Job, as he did against Adam.

(l) Meaning, what do you gain from serving God, seeing he thus plagues you, as though he were your enemy? This is the most grievous temptation for the faithful, when their faith is assailed, and when Satan goes about to persuade them that they trust in God in vain.

(m) For death was appointed to the blasphemer and so she meant that he would quickly be rid of his pain.

Job 2:9

9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
