Commentary

Commentary on Job 2:10

Theological / Devotional

Foolish. Heb. nebalah. Not weakness of reason but religious and moral insensibility.

Receive evil. Here, again, is the complete resignation previously expressed in ch. 1:21. Job’s question may be paraphrased as follows, “Should we receive all God’s benefits as a matter of course and then complain when He sends affliction?”
