Within the structure of the book, chapters 1 and 2 are grouped as "the Prologue" with the following outline:<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson201517-8">[8]</a>

<ul><li>Job Is Utterly Righteous (1:1–5)</li>

<li>The First Heavenly Court Scene (1:6–12)</li>

<li>The First Test - Loss of Possessions and Family (1:13–19)</li>

<li>Job's First Reaction to His Loss and the Narrator's Verdict (1:20–22)</li>

<li>The Second Heavenly Court Scene (2:1–6)</li>

<li>The Second Test - Ghastly Sores (2:7–10)</li>

<li>The Arrival and Mission of the Friends (2:11–13)</li></ul>

The whole section precedes the following parts of the book:<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson201517–23-9">[9]</a>

<ul><li>The Dialogue (chapters 3–31)</li>

<li>The Verdicts (32:1–42:6)</li>

<li>The Epilogue (42:7–17)</li></ul>

The Prologue consists of five scenes in prose form (1:1–5; 1:6–12; 1:13–22; 2:1–6; 2:7–13 (3:1)) — alternating between earth and heaven — which introduce the main characters and the theological issue to be explored.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrenshaw2007334-5">[5]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Second_conversation_(2:1–6)">Second conversation (2:1–6)</h2></div>

The passage describes the conversation in the second heavenly court which is very similar to the first one.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson201536-10">[10]</a> From verse 1 to the middle of verse 3, the narrative practically repeats Job 1:7–8, except for the addition of three Hebrew words at the end of verse 2:1 (להתיצב על יהוה, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H3320">lə-hiṯ-yaṣ-ṣêḇ</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H5921">‘al</a>- <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H3068">YHWH</a>,<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> translated: "to present himself before YHWH") and the difference in the Hebrew word used for "from where" (מֵאַ֣יִן, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H370">mê-’a-yin</a>,<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> in 1:7; אי מזה, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H335">’ê</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H2088">miz-zeh</a>,<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> in 2:2).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalton2012100-14">[14]</a> It is indicated that after the series of calamities on his possession and children, Job continues to "cling to" his integrity, basically maintaining all his commendable personal qualities.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalton2012100-14">[14]</a> YHWH states that he has been "incited" to "ruin" Job "without any reason", acknowledging that YHWH is accountable and responsible, but mainly also inviting the Adversary to concede that Job passed the test.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalton2012100–101-15">[15]</a> The Adversary responds that the test did not go far enough, using the phrase "skin for skin" (<a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(King_James)/Job#2:4" class="extiw external" title="s:Bible (King James)/Job">verse 4</a>) to make the exchange equal by including all that a man would give up to save his own skin.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson201537-16">[16]</a> YHWH permits the Adversary to proceed with the second test, to touch ("harm" or "strike") Job's "flesh and bone" but not Job's "life".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson201538-17">[17]</a> Thereafter God will not speak again until <a href="Job_38" title="Job 38">chapter 38</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson201538-17">[17]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Verse_3">Verse 3</h3></div>

<dl><dd>The Lord said to the Adversary, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and an upright man, who fears God and avoids evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you moved Me against him, to destroy him without cause."<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a></dd></dl>

<ul><li>"Moved": or "incited"; translated from Hebrew word from the root verb sut which has a sense of 'prompting someone to act in a way that is different from what that person would have chosen to do without provocation' (cf. God incited people to do what is wrong in <a href="1_Samuel_26" title="1 Samuel 26">1 Samuel 26</a>:19; <a href="2_Samuel_24" title="2 Samuel 24">2 Samuel 24</a>:1; human incited in <a href="2_Kings_18" title="2 Kings 18">2 Kings 18</a>:32; <a href="Jeremiah_43" title="Jeremiah 43">Jeremiah 43</a>:3).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEstes201315-19">[19]</a> <a href="1_Chronicles_21" title="1 Chronicles 21">1 Chronicles 21</a>:1 indicates that although YHWH permits evil actions within his sovereign plan, he is not directly causing evil to occur.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEstes201315-19">[19]</a></li>

<li>"Without cause": or "without any reason"; translated from Hebrew: khinnam, "for nothing" in <a href="Job_1%3A9" class="mw-redirect" title="Job 1:9">Job 1:9</a>; also "in vain" (Ezekiel 6:10), "unnecessarily" (1 Samuel 25:31) or "without compensation" (Genesis 29:15) or referring to undeserved treatments in <a href="1_Samuel_19" title="1 Samuel 19">1 Samuel 19</a>:5; <a href="1_Kings_2" title="1 Kings 2">1 Kings 2</a>:31.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalton2012101-20">[20]</a></li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Verse_6">Verse 6</h3></div>

<dl><dd>The Lord said to the Adversary, “Very well, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a></dd></dl>

<ul><li>"Very well": or "behold" (KJV, NKJV etc.); translated from the Hebrew particle <a href="Hebrew_language" title="Hebrew language">Hebrew</a>: הִנּוֹ, hinnow, literally, “here he is!” as God presents Job to Satan.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> The Greek <a href="Septuagint" title="Septuagint">Septuagint</a> renders it “I deliver him up to you.”<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a></li></ul>

This verse shows that YHWH is sovereign over the Adversary by putting limits on how far the action against Job may go.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEstes201316-24">[24]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Affliction_of_Job_and_the_Arrival_of_Counselors_(2:7–13)">Affliction of Job and the Arrival of Counselors (2:7–13)</h2></div>

The first part of the section (verses 7–8) describes the second attack by the Adversary on Job, which adds a negative aspect, by afflicting the physical pain of 'ghastly sores', to the removal of the positives in Job's life with the first attack.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson201538-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalton2012101-20">[20]</a> The words of <a href="Job's_wife" title="Job's wife">Job's wife</a> elicits a spoken response from Job about the second attack (verses 9–10).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson201539-25">[25]</a> The arrival of Job's three friends, their mourning and silence, left to Job to speak first, setting the stage for the subsequent poetic dialogues (chapter 3 to 42).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalton2012105-26">[26]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Verse_7">Verse 7</h3></div>

<dl><dd>Therefore, the Adversary went out from the presence of the Lord, and he afflicted Job with severe sores from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a></dd></dl>

<ul><li>"Severe sores": from <a href="Hebrew_language" title="Hebrew language">Hebrew</a>: שְׁחִין, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H7822">shekhin</a>, "boils".<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> It is not the same as the term translated as "leprosy", but more involving 'inflammation of the skin'.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWalton2012102-29">[29]</a></li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Verse_8">Verse 8</h3></div>

<ul><li>"His wife": <a href="Job's_wife" title="Job's wife">Job's wife</a> is only mentioned here in the Hebrew Bible, without a name, but with her only speech. <a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEstes201316-24">[24]</a> In the Aramaic <a href="Targum" title="Targum">Targum</a>, her name is called "Dinah", with an allusion to <a href="Genesis_34" class="mw-redirect" title="Genesis 34">Genesis 34</a>, whereas in the "<a href="Testament_of_Job" title="Testament of Job">Testament of Job</a>" she is called "Sitis".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson201539-25">[25]</a> The Hebrew root word for "wife" (<a href="Hebrew_language" title="Hebrew language">Hebrew</a>: אִשָּׁה, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H802">ishshah</a>) recalls <a href="Adam" title="Adam">Adam</a>'s description of Eve as "bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh" in <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0102.htm#23">Genesis 2:23</a> (<a href="Hebrew_language" title="Hebrew language">Hebrew</a>: עצם מעצמי ובשר מבשרי, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H6106">‘e-ṣem</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H6106">mê-‘ă-ṣā-may</a> ū-<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H1320">ḇā-śār</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H1320">mi-bə-śā-rî</a><a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a>) in relation to the Adversary's intention to strike Job's "bone and flesh" (<a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(King_James)/Job#2:5" class="extiw external" title="s:Bible (King James)/Job">verse 5</a>; <a href="Hebrew_language" title="Hebrew language">Hebrew</a>: אל עצמו ואל בשרו, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H413">’el</a>-<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H6106">‘aṣ-mōw</a> wə-<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H413">’el</a>-<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H1320">bə-śā-rōw</a>, "to his bone and to his flesh"<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a>).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson201538-17">[17]</a></li>

<li>"Curse": from the Hebrew verb <a href="Hebrew_language" title="Hebrew language">Hebrew</a>: בָּרַךְ, barakh,<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a> literally "bless", but in an evil sense (cf. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt2701.htm#5">Job 1:5</a>).<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a><a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a></li></ul>

The words of Job's wife can be interpreted as suggesting a "theological method of committing suicide", that is, urging Job 'to put him out of misery by doing the one forbidden thing ("cursing God") that will ensure his immediate destruction and end his endless agony" according to the traditional 'doctrine of (divine) retribution'.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilson201538–39-37">[37]</a>

The Greek Septuagint has a longer reading with the phrase "when a long time had passed" in the beginning of the verse and the speech of Job's wife: "How long will you hold out, saying, 'Behold, I wait yet a little while, expecting the hope of my deliverance?' for behold, your memorial is abolished from the earth, even your sons and daughters, the pangs and pains of my womb which I bore in vain with sorrows, and you yourself sit down to spend the night in the open air among the corruption of worms, and I am a wanderer and a servant from place to place and house to house, waiting for the setting sun, that I may rest from my labors and pains that now beset me, but say some word against the Lord and die."<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a>
