Commentary on Job 2:5 (Summary)

Job 2:5 (ESV)

5 But stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.”

Now that his first accusation (that Job served God for the sake of possessions) has been proven false, Satan comes with a second accusation: Job will curse God as soon as Job’s own body is harmed.
