The LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man. 2:3

Trivia: There once was a perfect man who lived in the land of Uz. What was his name?

Job : Good Stuff (5)

  1. "Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die."

    Job's wife rightly says that if Job is to keep his integrity, then he should curse God (for playing vicious games with Satan) and die. 2:9

  2. All we are is dust in the wind. 7:7-9
  3. "Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?" 13:7
  4. "Man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? ... Man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep." 14:10-12
  5. Job says that humans perish at death like their own dung. Well, one might fault him for his choice of words, but the idea seems sound enough. 20:7
