Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 1:7

_ _ going to and fro — rather, “hurrying rapidly to and fro.” The original idea in Arabic is the heat of haste (Matthew 12:43; 1 Peter 5:8). Satan seems to have had some peculiar connection with this earth. Perhaps he was formerly its ruler under God. Man succeeded to the vice royalty (Genesis 1:26; Psalms 8:6). Man then lost it and Satan became prince of this world. The Son of man (Psalms 8:4) — the representative man, regains the forfeited inheritance (Revelation 11:15). Satan’s replies are characteristically curt and short. When the angels appear before God, Satan is among them, even as there was a Judas among the apostles.

Job 1:7

And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence (n) comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, (o) From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

(n) This question is asked for our infirmity: for God knew where he had come from.

(o) In this is described the nature of Satan, which is always seeking his prey, (1 Peter 5:8).
