Job 2:1 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

JOB CHAPTER 2 Satan's second appearance before God: Job's character continuing the same, condemneth Satan, Job 2:1-3. Satan judgeth him not sufficiently tried, unless his body suffer; and so obtaineth leave to hurt his body, but not touch his life, Job 2:4-6. Job, smote with boils, scrapeth himself, and sitteth down in ashes, Job 2:7,8. His wife's folly; he reproveth her, acknowledging God's sovereignty and former mercies, Job 2:9,10. His three friends, and their sorrow, Job 2:11-13. Again there was a day; another set time some convenient space after the former calamities. Of this and the two next verses See Poole on "Job 1:6", See Poole on "Job 1:7", See Poole on "Job 1:8".
