We saw in the previous post that Stepanos views Job as a type of Christ, prefiguring through his suffering and restoration the passion and resurrection of Jesus. That foreshadowing is indicated by the claim that God uses Job to show Satan that he will be conquered by an "earthly human." In effect, Job serves as an early warning to Satan. The mouse has been given notice of the mouse trap that is to come.
The fragmentary nature of the commentary becomes clear now as we move ahead to chapter 2. The next comment is on Job's response to his wife's demand that he curse God and die:
“But he looked at her
and said…” (2:10)
He answered in anger. The face is the servant and mirror of
the heart, and it indicates anger by the movement in his look.
