Did Job's wife leave him

Answer 1

The Bible does not say what happened to her. It must be assumed that she watched the entire time of suffering of her husband and shared in the Satanic attack on his life.

Although the focus is on Job, she also lost all she had. She also buried 10 of her children. Job mentions his wife in chapters 19 and 31. Though she was wrong and not supportive by telling Job to "Curse God and die", we can assume it may have been part of his trial to have an unsupportive spouse. Making Job rely only on God for his answers and help. Total assumption would say that she repented of her bitterness, but there is no Biblical proof. The reason for that assumption is the birth of 10 more children in Job 42:13. Another wife for Job is never mentioned, so the assumption would be it was the same wife.

Imagine her own relief when Job came out of his trials victoriously because she also benefited w/children and all that God restored unto Job. Why it is never mentioned in the bible if God dealt with Job's wife or not, as He did Job's friends...we will only know when we meet God.

Answer 2

Job's wife played into Satan's hands with her response to testings and trials - it was this response of unbelief and lack of faith in God that Satan was attempting unsuccessfully to elicit from Job. Job withstood because his trust in God was rock solid.

Answer 3

Job was allowed to be attacked by Satan to prove that humans don't serve god for selfish reasons. He was an excellent example of having complete faith and trust in god.
