Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil." — Job 1:8 (ASV)
And the LORD said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job?
"He is an example to you; he may well chide you; he is so obedient, and you are so rebellious: Have you considered my servant Job?"
And the LORD said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, (Job 1:8)
You see, Job is a man whom God calls his servant even in speaking to the devil, Have you 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?
God himself gives Job that high character. He is an unparalleled man; he stands alone among mankind: There is none like him in the earth. "Have you summed him up? Have you taken his measure, O you accuser of the brethren?"
