Tafsiran Ayub 1:8: Rashi & Malbim

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־הַשָּׂטָ֔ן הֲשַׂ֥מְתָּ לִבְּךָ֖ עַל־עַבְדִּ֣י אִיּ֑וֹב כִּ֣י אֵ֤ין כָּמֹ֙הוּ֙ בָּאָ֔רֶץ אִ֣ישׁ תָּ֧ם וְיָשָׁ֛ר יְרֵ֥א אֱלֹהִ֖ים וְסָ֥ר מֵרָֽע׃

Yang Mahakekal berfirman kepada sang Penuduh, “Sudahkah engkau memperhatikan hamba-Ku Ayub? Sebab tidak ada seorang pun seperti dia di bumi: seorang yang tulus dan jujur, takut akan Allah, dan menjauhi kejahatan.”

Have you paid attention to My servant Job that you should desire to denounce him?

Malbim

When, in His wisdom, God united 'form' and 'matter' in man, He endowed the 'form' with power and dominion over the 'matter' so that it can suppress the latter's appetites, satisfying them only to the extent that morality and ethics allow. Consequently, a godly person who subjugates his 'matter' and conquers his cravings, and whose soul has absolute rule over all his instincts, will be beyond the rule of the force of extinction.6The soul and Satan struggle for dominion over the body - matter. If the soul is strong enough it can deny Satan power over the body. Such a perfect man would be protected by God's Providence from any physical harm. This is the background to the dialogue between God and Satan. God presents Job as being such a paragon, beyond Satan's reach.
