In verse twenty it says, "At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship." Job proved Satan wrong in showing that no matter what trials he faced, or faced him, he would not curse the name of the Lord. .
In chapter two, Satan again tried to test Job saying, "Skin for skin! A man will give all he has for his own life, but stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face." Satan proceeded to afflict Job with painful sores from the "soles of his feet to the top of his head," as it says in verse seven. Job proceeded to sit down with a piece of broken pottery and scrape himself with it. Job's wife even tried to discourage Job from looking to God, saying to him in verse nine, "Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!" Job then replied in verse 10 saying, "You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" What is most amazing about Job, is that through all of his discomfort and sickness, Job did not once sin against the Lord. .
The book of Job has been researched in both Christian and non-Christian perspectives. When observed in a Christian point-of-view, the book of Job, like most books in the Bible, gives a story from which many truths can be derived. It is a book that is often used as a basis for sermons, Sunday school lessons, and church teachings. It is a story of perseverance, devotion, faith, and dedication to God. On the other hand, when observed by non-Christians in a secular point-of-view, the book of Job often affords the same story and question. That story is about an honest, upright man who experiences great trial and tribulation, and leaves readers with the question; why do bad things happen to good people? Those who do not understand Christianity see Job as a story about a good man who faces terrible torments.
