You have blessed the work of his hands and his possessions have increased in the land. But now, stretch out Your hand and strike everything he has, and he will certainly curse You to Your face!” 12Then Adonai said to the satan, “Everything he has is in your hand.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11But put forth thine hand - Shoot the dart of poverty and affliction against him. And he will curse thee to thy face - יברכך פניך על לא אם im lo al paneycha yebarechecca, "If he will not bless thee to thy appearances."

If thou wilt be gracious, he will be pious. The exact maxim of a great…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11But put forth thine hand now - That is, for the purpose of injuring him, and taking away his property. And touch all that he hath - Dr. Good renders this, “and smite.” The Vulgate and the Septuagint, “touch.” The Hebrew word used here נגע nâga‛ means properly to “touch;” then to touch anyone with violence Genesis 26:11; Joshua 9:19, and then to smite, to injure, to strike; see Genesis 32:26,33; 1 Samuel 6:9; Job 19:21; compare the notes at Isaiah 53:4…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-12Verses 6-12 Job's afflictions began from the malice of Satan, by the Lord's permission, for wise and holy purposes. There is an evil spirit, the enemy of God, and of all righteousness, who is continually seeking to distress, to lead astray, and, if possible, to destroy those who love God. How far his influence may extend, we cannot say; but probably much unsteadiness and unhappiness in Christians may be ascribed to him. While we are on this earth we are…Read the comment

They acted against everything Job owned and later against Job himself (2:5–6). Job later cursed the day of his birth, but he did not curse God (3:1, 8; 31:30). This was even true when his upset wife urged him to do so (2:9). God allowed Satan to test Job to show that Satan's negative view of Job was wrong (1…Read the comment
