NASB | Job 1:22 ¶ Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Job 1:22 ¶ Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God. |
Bible Question: Recently I heard a Bible teacher say that in Hebrew, the word translated as "curse" in Chapter 1 of Job is actually the Hebrew word for bless. Is it possible that throughout the first two chapters the writer meant to make a satyrical word play on the word "bless?" Is it possible that our normal interpretation of Job's words "Blessed be the name of the Lord" actually betray at this early point his frustration with suffering whose purpose he cannot comprehend? |
Bible Answer: Although Job was unclear about who was behind his suffering and the important issues raised by God's chief adversary - Satan - the quoted scripture above (Job 1:22) appears to not support some "satyrical word play on the word bless". |
