Why do good people suffer?
Why do bad people prosper?
The Book of Job (A.
Job’s Faith and Prosperity (1:1–5))
At this point it is important to note that the sin of cursing God is pivotal to the prologue.
Whereas Job feared that his children might speak lightly about God, the Satan will argue that Job would certainly curse God should he suffer loss
The Book of Job (A.
Job’s Faith and Prosperity (1:1–5))
Then Job’s wife will urge him to curse God and die (2:9).
With this motif the author focuses on the basis of an individual’s relationship to God.
Does a person worship God out of genuine love or primarily for God’s blessing?
This is the issue for everyone.
The Book of Job (B.
The First Scene before Yahweh (1:6–12))
This is important, for the author has a doubly difficult task throughout his work: continually to characterize Job as innocent and not to characterize Yahweh as demonic.
But the Satan questioned God’s praise of Job.
He doubted whether any person would fear God for nothing or without reason (Heb.
ḥinnām; cf.
2:3).
The Satan’s question insinuated that all good deeds spring from selfish motives.
