Job 1:12

“Hence they have no power or strength against any one except what God in His dispensation hath conceded to them, as for instance, against Job and those swine that are mentioned in the Gospels.” — editor's note: Job i. 12.

“You have the case of Job, whom the devil, unless he had received authority from God, could not have visited with trial, not even, in fact, in his property, unless the Lord had said, “Behold, all that he has I put at your disposal; but do not stretch out your hand against himself.”” — editor's note: Job i. 12.

“Is he then the same God as He who gave Satan power over the person of Job that his “strength might be made perfect in weakness?”” — editor's note: Job i. 12 and 2 Cor. xii. 9.

“The tempter was permitted to tempt a holy man, Job; in one moment he took away all things: whatever of possessions he had had, he carried off: took away inheritance, slew heirs; and this not little by little,…” — editor's note: Job i. 12.

“Have ye not here also heard concerning the devil, that “he that committeth sin is of the devil”?” — editor's note: Job. i. 11, 12.

“Not even against swine did he venture any outrage, until He Himself allowed him;nor against flocks, nor herds, until he had received permission from above.” — editor's note: Job i. 12.

“Was not he most brave in that he bore so nobly the attacks of the devil, and overcame him with the powers of his mind?” — editor's note: Cf. Job i. 12, w. i. 22, and Job ii. 6, w. ii. 10.

“Now power is given against us in two modes: either for punishment when we sin, or for glory when we are proved, as we see was done with respect to Job; as God Himself sets forth, saying, “Behold, all that he hath I give unto thy hands; but be careful not to touch himself.”” — editor's note: Job i. 12.
