Excerpt from Critical Commentary and Paraphrase on the Old and New Testament and the Apocrypha, Vol. 3 of 6
Ver. 6. Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.] But this great piety was not sufficient to preserve him from false accusations.' For as Job set a time for his children to examine themselves, so there are certain seasons when the angels come and stand in the Di vine presence, to give an account of their ministry, and to receive commands from God, the Judge and Governor of the world: and Satan, that subtle adversary of mankind, came one day, and thrust in himself among them.
Ver. 7. And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.] And the Lord (to make him sensible he was not an ah solute prince, but his subject) called to him, and demanded an account of him, where he had been, and from whence he came? To which he gave an answer, which expressed, as the great restlessness of his mind, and his unwearied dili gence, so the limitation of his power, which extends only to this lower world; for he told him, he came from going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
