Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 1:9

_ _ fear God for naught — It is a mark of the children of Satan to sneer and not give credit to any for disinterested piety. Not so much God’s gifts, as God Himself is “the reward” of His people (Genesis 15:1).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 1:6-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 1:9

For nought — Out of pure love and respect to thee? No. It is policy, not piety, that makes him good; he doth not serve thee, but serveth himself of thee, serving thee for his own ends.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 1:9

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for (p) nought?

(p) He fears you not for your own sake, but for the blessing that he received from you.
