Commentary on Job 1:20
Job's response demonstrates genuine, persevering faith. The tearing of his mantle and shaving his head represent proper covenant mourning, not sinful despair. The Hebrew 'shachah' (worshipped) is crucial—in his deepest agony, Job's first response is worship. This vindicates God's assessment (verse 8) and refutes Satan's accusation (verse 11). True faith, wrought by the Spirit, worships God even in incomprehensible suffering, seeing His hand rather than blind fate.
