New Defender's Study Bible Notes

1:12 in thy power. Satan here is proposing a scientific experiment, as it were, testing Job’s professed faith in God by causing him to suffer great loss. God is allowing it, at least in Job’s case, knowing that Job’s faith will not fail, thus demonstrating to “the principalities and powers in the heavenly places...the manifold wisdom of God” (Ephesians 3:10).
