A:In the Book of Job, Satan is the loyal assistant of God, tasked with testing the righteousness of the faithful - not at all the adversary of God in later Christian tradition. The story begins when the sons of God come to present themselves before the Lord, with Satan one among them. God asks Satan where he has been and then asks whether Satan has tried to tempt Job, the most upright man on earth. Satan says no man is beyond temptation, so God challenges him to do so, allowing him to harm Job's property, family and servants but leave Job unharmed. The story tells of all Job's losses but his continued refusal to blame God, who had actually brought about his calamities. When Satan returns unsuccessful, God gives him another dare, allowing him to harm Job, as long as he does not kill him. Still Job refuses to blame God.

Finally, God in anger that Job dare be so righteous, reprimands him, demanding whether Job thinks he is as great as God himself. He asks where Job was when God created the world and killed the chaos monsters. God knows no ordinary human could do these things.

Jewish answer:

According to Jewish tradition (Talmud, Bava Bathra 16a), Job was reprimanded by God for having spoken to Him not completely respectfully (such as in 9:33). Because Job's righteouness was nearly perfect, God did in the end restore Job's wealth.

He did not. He just got overly whiny and enjoyed a major pity party.

Who refused to curse God and die when God allowed the devil to test him?

Job: God allowed Satan to test Job's faithfulness to Him by allowing several bad things to happen to the man. From allowing the death of his children to the loss of his material possessions and the final affliction upon his own body, God allowed Satan to test Job's willingness to continue to follow God. Even Job's wife urged him to cry out against God but he would not do so. God did reward Job for his faithfulness by allowing the return of his losses many fold.


How many times is the word servants used in the Bible?

I want to share some God words with you, I think these can help you solve your problem:(Job 1:8) And the LORD said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and shuns evil?(Job 2:3) And the LORD said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and shuns evil? and still he holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause.(Job 42:7-9) And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends: for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has. Therefore take to you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that you have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job. So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job."In Job 42:7-9, God mentioned that Job was His servant. God's calling Job by the address "servant" represented Job's weight in God's heart. Although God did not call him by a higher address, this address did not affect Job's weight in God's heart. Here "servant" was a "nickname" by which God called Job. From God's many mentions of "my servant Job," God's joy over Job was manifested.……Although God did not speak of the meaning of the word "servant," God's definition of the word "servant" could be seen from what God said in these verses. Although God called Job servant, this "servant" was a man who was the delight of God's eyes, a man whom God gave the authority to pray for others and forgive others' offense, a man who could directly talk with God and come before God, and a man who had a higher and more dignified position than others. This was the true meaning of the "servant" God spoke of. Job received this "unusual honor" because he "feared God and shunned evil." Other people were not addressed as "servant" by God, because they were not ones who "feared God and shunned evil." God's two totally different attitudes are God's attitudes toward the two kinds of people: He who "fears God and shuns evil" is accepted by God and is precious in God's eyes; the foolish, who do not fear God and cannot shun evil, cannot win God's pleasure and are often loathed and condemned by God and are low in God's eyes.
