Job 2:3 And the LORD said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man… He is still His servant, and one prominent among His children, and a word is now added showing that Jehovah notes the fidelity of His own: "Holdeth fast his integrity." How beautiful is this! Poor and stricken, bereft of all, Job is still "My servant." The living God loses not interest in His tried and suffering ones. Drink deep from this sweet well. Though change of circumstance oft brings change in those we once called friends, and those from whom we look for comfort give only blame, God is not a man that He should change, and it is still "My servant Job." (H. E. Stone.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
