Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
Ver. 1. Again there was a day] Whether the next day, or the next sabbath day, or the next first, day of the year (which is God's day of general audit, as the Rabbis will have it), we have not to say. God, as he hath in his eternal counsel fore appointed everything that is done; so he hath set the times wherein, Ecclesiastes 3:1, such as the creature can neither alter nor order. This is a comfortable consideration.
When the sons of God, &c.] See Job 1:6 .
And Satan came also among them] Whether summoned to give an account, or of his own accord to sue out a new commission against Job, it skilleth not. Restless he is; and it behoveth us to be vigilant; not ignorant of his wiles, nor unmindful of his inveterate envy and enmity.
