Musar על איוב 2:10
Sefer HaYashar
He should consider whether many evil happenings came upon him, but he received them all with a pleasant countenance, as it is said (Job 2:10), “Shall we receive good at the hands of God, and shall we not receive evil?” Let him think about how many good virtues God has shown to us. Let him think whether or not there came upon him an evil or pain or exile or serious illness, or whether he fell from a high place, or was smitten by a stone or a sword, or fell into the fire, or an evil beast bit him, or there arose aaginst him false witnesses, or violent men plotted against him to slay him, and he was saved from all of them, and God gave him a good wife and children that are wise in all things.
