And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

Commentary

Commentary on Job 2:3

Theological / Devotional

An upright man. See on ch. 1:1,7.

Integrity. Heb. tummah. This word comes from the same root as the word translated “perfect” in this verse, and in ch. 1:1,8. The idea is that of completeness (see on ch. 1:1).

To destroy him. Literally, “to swallow him up,” “to engulf.” The LXX for “him” reads “his possessions.”

Without cause. Heb. chinnam. Translated “for nought” (see on ch. 1:9).
