9 Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, Doth Job fear Elohim for nought?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
12 And Yah said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So, Satan went forth from the presence of Yah.
Yah used this trial to humble and perfect Job even more.
Job 42:1-6 – Then Job answered Yahweh, and said,
2 I know that thou canst do everything, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
All of those who are willing to submit to the “perfection process” will be blessed with spiritual fruit.
Psalm 37:37 – Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
James 1:3-4 – Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
1 John 4:17-18 – Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
So, we see here that the fruit of perfection is peace, sound mindedness, faith, love and good works.
