NETBible

So the Lord said to Satan, “All right,¹ he is² in your power;³ only preserve⁴ his life.”

NET Notes

¹tn The particle הִנּוֹ (hinno) is literally, “here he is!” God presents Job to Satan, with the restriction on preserving Job’s life.

²tn The LXX has “I deliver him up to you.”

³tn Heb “hand.”

⁴sn The irony of the passage comes through with this choice of words. The verb שָׁמַר (shamar) means “to keep; to guard; to preserve.” The exceptive clause casts Satan in the role of a savior – he cannot destroy this life but must protect it.
