Commentary on Job 1:10 (Summary)

Job 1:10 (ESV)

10 Have you not put a hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.

Satan implies that God has never tested Job, that he has always bound Job to himself through blessing him. From his emphasis on the word you, it seems that Satan is actually accusing God.
