1:8So the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered40 my servant Job? There41 is no one like him on the earth, a pure and upright man, one who fears God and turns away42 from evil.”
Footnotes
- 40 The Hebrew has “have you placed your heart on Job?” This means “direct your mind to” (cf. 963 I שׂוּם 2.b). The question is undoubtedly rhetorical, for it is designed to make Satan aware of Job as God extols his fine qualities.
- 41 The Hebrew conjunction כִּי (ki) need not be translated in this case or it might be taken as emphatic (cf. §39.3.4e): “Certainly there is no one like him.”
- 42 The same expressions that appeared at the beginning of the chapter appear here in the words of God. In contrast to that narrative report about Job, the emphasis here is on Job’s present character, and so the participle form is translated here asa gnomic or characteristic present (“turns”). It modifies “man” as one who is turning from evil.
