"Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce God, and die." — Job 2:9 (ASV)
Then said his wife. —So it is that a man’s foes are they of his own household (Micah 7:6; Matthew 10:36, and other similar passages). The worst trial of all is when those nearest to us, instead of strengthening our hand in God and confirming our faith, conspire to destroy it.
