JOB—NOTE ON Job 1:5 cursed God in their hearts. The Hebrew is literally “blessed God in their hearts” (see esv footnote). The context indicates, however, that the opposite idea, “to curse,” is intended. The same verb is used in this way, as a euphemism, in v. Job 1:11; Job 2:5, Job 2:9; 1 Kings 21:10, 1 Kings 21:13.
