How preachers through history handled this text
5 public-domain excerpts on Job 2, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The friends of Job seem noted for their rank, as well as for wisdom and piety. Much of the comfort of this life lies in friendship with the prudent and virtuous. Coming to mourn with him, they vented grief which they really felt. Coming to comfort him, they sat down with him. It would appear that they suspected his unexampled troubles were judgments for some crimes, which he had vailed under his professions of godliness. Many look upon it only as a compliment to visit their friends in sorrow; we must look life. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Job 2:11–30 (Public Domain)
