Abstract: “Following the destruction of Job's children and possessions in Job 1,
traditional readings of ch. 2 understand the Satan to be demanding that Job himself
be struck down as a test of his disinterested piety. Instead, this study argues
that the Satan's language in Job 2 invites us to read it from 'the beginning'
(Gen. 1-3) and that when we do, the Satan is seen to be demanding not Job's
life, but rather his wife. Such a reading complicates traditional
characterizations of Job's wife as merely the Satan's tool by introducing the
idea that she is also Satan's target.”

“In summary then the central teaching of the formula concerns fidelity to vows, constancy
in purpose, acceptance of responsibility which are appropriate to our
humanness. When the formula of 2,23a is understood in this way, the whole
fabric of Israel's faith is greatly illuminated in terms of fidelity and
solidarity.”
