Sacked by Satan
Satan hated this detestable godly man but since Satan is no match against God’s power, he tries to destroy what God loves.
Satan challenged God saying that Job only feared Him because Job had been blessed by Him, but if he lost everything, “He will surely curse you to Your face!” (Job 1:11) God allowed Satan to take all of Job’s prosperity, his sons and daughters, his livestock and his servants, but God drew a boundary around Job that Satan could not kill him.
