# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Satan's response to God's question in [verse 8](./08.md) runs through Job 8:11.
|
|
|
|
# Is it for no reason that Job fears God?
|
|
|
|
Satan uses a rhetorical question to introduce his claim that Job only serves God because God blesses him. Alternate translation: "Job has a very good reason for fearing God." or "Does Job not live better because he fears God?" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
|
|
|
|
# for no reason
|
|
|
|
The word "reason" here implies some form of gain, whether physical goods or happiness.
|
|
|
|
# Job fears God
|
|
|
|
"Job honors God." See how you translated similar words in [Job 1:1](../01/01.md).
|
|
|
|
# God
|
|
|
|
God is referring to himself in third person. See how you translated this in [verse 8](./08.md). Alternate translation: "me" or "me, God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-123person]])
