No hay ninguno como él en la tierra (Job 1:8).
El relato señala que Job “resultó sin culpa y recto”, y que fue un hombre “temeroso de Dios y apartado del mal”. Fue su devoción a Dios, no sus riquezas ni su influencia, lo que lo convirtió en el blanco de los ataques del Diablo (Job 1:1; 29:7-16; 31:1). Satanás afirmó que Job adoraba a Dios por puro egoísmo, no por verdadera devoción. Aseguró que solo le sería leal a Jehová mientras recibiera su bendición y protección. A fin de responder a la acusación, Jehová dejó que el Diablo atacara al fiel patriarca. Como consecuencia, el ganado de Job fue aniquilado o cayó en manos de salteadores, la mayoría de sus siervos fueron asesinados y sus diez hijos murieron, todo en un solo día (Job 1:13-19). ¿Reaccionó Job como esperaba el Diablo? Todo lo contrario, pues dijo: “Jehová mismo ha dado, y Jehová mismo ha quitado. Continúe siendo bendito el nombre de Jehová” (Job 1:21).

There is no one like him in the earth.—Job 1:8.
Job is described as a man who “proved to be blameless and upright, and fearing God and turning aside from bad.” It was Job’s godly devotion—not his wealth and influence—that made him a target for the attacks of Satan the Devil. (Job 1:1; 29:7-16; 31:1) Satan claimed that Job’s worship of God was based on selfishness, not integrity. Satan alleged that Job would be loyal to Jehovah only as long as God continued to reward and protect him. To provide an answer to Satan’s charge, Jehovah allowed Satan to attack that faithful man. As a result, within the course of one day, Job learned that his livestock had been stolen or destroyed, his attendants had been killed, and his ten children had lost their lives. (Job 1:13-19) Instead of caving in to Satan’s attack, Job said: “Jehovah himself has given, and Jehovah himself has taken away. Let the name of Jehovah continue to be blessed.”—Job 1:21.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
