He was speaking of what he had already experienced. In turn this should lead us to reading Job 1:1 through Job 1:20 and seeing for ourselves that God never took a single thing from Job. In fact, after disciplining Job based on his words of error and anger toward God, it was the Lord who actually gave to Job, but He never took a single thing.

Psa 15:1-5 KJV LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? (v.2) He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. (v.3) He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. (v.4) In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. (v.5) He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
