Context — Satan’s First Attack
9Satan answered the LORD, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
10Have You not placed a hedge on every side around him and his household and all that he owns? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
11But stretch out Your hand and strike all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
12“Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “Everything he has is in your hands, but you must not lay a hand on the man himself.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. 13One day, while Job’s sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,Cross References

Job 1:11 Summary
In this verse, Satan is tempting God to test Job's faith by taking away his possessions, because he thinks Job only loves God because of what he gets from Him, similar to the concept in Deuteronomy 8:10-14. But Job's faith is genuine, and he trusts God even when things are hard, as seen in Job 1:21. This verse reminds us that our faith will be tested, but we can trust God to be with us and to use those tests to make our faith stronger, as promised in James 1:2-4. We can also learn from Job's example to trust God's goodness, even when we don't understand what's happening, as encouraged in Psalm 37:3-7.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Satan think Job will curse God if his possessions are taken away?
Satan believes that Job's faith is based on the blessings he has received from God, and if those blessings are removed, Job will turn against God, as seen in Job 1:11, similar to the concept in Deuteronomy 8:10-14 where the Israelites were warned not to forget God after receiving His blessings.
Is Satan's challenge to God's sovereignty valid?
No, Satan's challenge is not valid because it is based on a false assumption that Job's faith is only superficial, as stated in Job 1:11, but as seen in Job 1:21, Job's faith is genuine and rooted in his trust in God's goodness, similar to the trust expressed in Psalm 37:3-7.
What does this verse reveal about Satan's character?
This verse reveals that Satan is a tempter and an accuser who seeks to undermine God's plans and destroy the faith of God's people, as seen in Job 1:11 and also in Revelation 12:10, where Satan is called the accuser of the brethren.
How does this verse relate to the concept of testing and trials in the Christian life?
This verse shows that Satan can be the instrument of testing and trials in the life of a believer, but as seen in James 1:2-4, these trials can also be used by God to refine and strengthen our faith, and to demonstrate our loyalty to Him, similar to the refining process described in 1 Peter 1:7.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways in which Satan might try to tempt me to curse God, and how can I prepare myself to resist those temptations?
- How can I, like Job, demonstrate my trust in God's goodness even in the midst of trials and losses, as expressed in Job 1:21?
- What are some blessings in my life that I might be taking for granted, and how can I cultivate a deeper appreciation for God's goodness, as encouraged in Deuteronomy 8:10-14?
- How can I use my experiences of trials and testing to encourage and support others who may be going through similar struggles, as seen in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4?
Gill's Exposition on Job 1:11
But put forth thine hand now,.... With draw thine hand of providence, power, and protection, with which thou hast covered and screened him; and, instead of that, "send" (u) forth thine afflicting
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 1:11
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. Curse thee to thy face - in antithesis to God's praise of him (Job 1:8), "one that feareth God." Satan's words are too true of many.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Job 1:11
Put forth thine hand, to wit, in way of justice and severity, as that phrase is used, ,13,16. Touch, i.e. afflict or destroy, as this word is used, . He will curse thee to thy face; he who is now so forward to serve and bless thee, will then openly and boldly blaspheme thy name, and reproach thy providence, as unjust and unmerciful to him.
Trapp's Commentary on Job 1:11
Job 1:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.Ver. 11. But put forth thy hand] Make Job feel the weight of it, as good people usually do more than others; yet not ad exitium, to destruction but ad exercitium, to their training, their crosses are not penal, but probational, and medicinal. The same holy hand of God that was put forth to protect and bless Job shall be put forth to afflict him. It must needs be therefore done in measure, and in mercy. If he smite Job, it shall be in the branches only, and not at the root, Isaiah 27:8, for there is a blessing in it; his hand shall not be further put forth to smite than to save, Isaiah 59:1 Acts 4:31 Psalms 144:7. If Satan or his instruments over do, and offer to exceed their commission, he will never endure it, Zechariah 1:15. This Satan knew very well, and therefore motioneth that God would put forth his hand and touch him; or, Put forth thy hand, I pray thee; or, Put forth thy hand a little (so some render it) and touch him; that is, lightly afflict him. Confer Genesis 26:11; Genesis 26:19 Psalms 105:15. And touch all that he hath] Or, touch anything that he hath; so the word Col is used, Job 8:12 Proverbs 1:17. And it is as if he should say, Lay but some light loss upon him, and he will show his unsoundness; as if but light weights be hanged on rotten boughs, they will soon break; and as if wooden or earthen vessels be set empty to the fire, they will quickly crack.
And he will curse thee to thy face] Heb. If he do not curse thee, q.d. then I shall much marvel; or then say, I have no skill in him, if he will not thereupon bluster and blaspheme thee, and that openly, impudently, boldly, to thy very face, avowedly, as Caligula did; when he dared his Jove to a duel, with that hemistich in Homer, ημαναειρηεγωσε; as Mahomet, the Grand Seignior, greatly grieved with the dishonour and loss he had at Scodra, most horribly brake out into blasphemous words not fit to be related; as that black mouthed pope with his al despito di Dio. They set their mouths against heaven, saith the psalmist, and let fly at God himself; they howl upwards with the wolf when hunger bit; they utter their own harsh voice, as the parrot when beaten; and like birds of prey that have been long kept in the dark, are out of measure fierce and furious when once they come abroad, so are ignorant and graceless persons: but Job was none such, whatever the devil deemed and averred of him. Pompey, when he had lost the field, might, for want of grace, say that there was a mist over the eye of Providence.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Job 1:11
Verse 11. But put forth thine hand] Shoot the dart of poverty and affliction against him. And he will curse thee to thy face.] אם לא על פניך יברכך im lo al paneycha yebarechecca, "If he will not bless thee to thy appearances." He will bless thee only in proportion to the temporal good thou bestowest upon him; to the providential and gracious appearances or displays of thy power in his behalf. If thou wilt be gracious, he will be pious. The exact maxim of a great statesman, Sir Robert Walpole: Every man has his price. "But you have not bought such a one?" "No, because I would not go up to his price. He valued himself at more than I thought him worth; and I could get others cheaper, who, in the general muster, would do as well." No doubt Sir R. met with many such; and the devil many more. But still God has multitudes that will neither sell their souls, their consciences, nor their country, for any price; who, though God should slay them, will nevertheless trust in him; and be honest men, howsoever tempted by the devil and his vicegerents. So did Job; so have done thousands; so will all do, in whose hearts Christ dwells by faith.
Cambridge Bible on Job 1:11
11. curse thee to thy face] that is, renounce thee openly. See on Job 1:5. The phrase and he will curse thee has the form of an oath in the Heb. Satan so little believes in the sincerity of human religion that he is not afraid to take his oath that it is hollow.
Barnes' Notes on Job 1:11
But put forth thine hand now - That is, for the purpose of injuring him, and taking away his property. And touch all that he hath - Dr.
Whedon's Commentary on Job 1:11
11. Touch all that he hath — God needs but touch the fairest estate of man and it withers. The word πβςmay also be rendered smite, as in Job 1:19.
