Job 2:10

"You speak as one of the foolish women speaks": "God intends that husbands and wives assist one another in their heavenward journey, but sometimes mates turn out to be more of. hindrance than. help" (Jackson p. 23). Sadly, at times the person who is tempted to curse God is not the actual person who is suffering, but the person who beholds. loved one suffering. The term "foolish women" refers not to intellectual stupidity, but to religious apostasy (Psalms 14:1; Job 53:1). Her thinking may have been that cursing God would bring. certain yet merciful death, but what about the eternity after such. death? Job's wife is an example of someone who was only willing to accept good and not harm in God's universe.

Job 2:10 "Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?" Even in all his pain, Job is has the strength to teach his wife. valuable truth. "His willingness to receive adversity as well as blessing from God shows that he did not serve God for personal gain" (Zuck p. 19).

Job 2:10 "In all this Job did not sin with his lips": Let us remember that we can sin with our lips. God does hold us accountable for rash and thoughtless words (Matthew 12:36).
