Commentary on Job 2:3
God's second testimony adds 'he holdeth fast his integrity' (machaziq be-tummato, מַחֲזִיק בְּתֻמָּתוֹ). The verb chazaq means to be strong, to hold firmly—Job clings to integrity despite loss. God then accuses Satan: 'although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause' (chinnam, חִנָּם). This divine statement is crucial: God acknowledges Job's suffering has no basis in personal sin. The phrase vindicates Job's protests and refutes his friends' theology that all suffering results from sin.
