I think Job was ultimately being tested by God, wasn't he? I mean Satan was the one who took everything away from Job, but wasn't it God who told him he could-to prove that Job would remain faithful to God, even if Job were no longer prosperous? In rapid succession, Job is suddenly informed by four servants of four different tragedies to strike his household. First, Sabeans slaughtered his servants and took away his oxen and donkeys. Second, a fire from heaven had consumed his sheep and servants with them. Third, the Chaldeans formed raiding parties and carried away his camels, killing the servants with them. Fourth and finally, a mighty wind brought down the house his sons and daughters were eating in, collapsing on and killing them all. Each time, only the servant delivering the message had escaped the catastrophe. (Job 1:6-19) Job maintained his righteousness despite his loss, but Satan was still unsatisfied. Therefore, he received permission to afflict Job's person, though he could not take his life. So, Job became diseased with painful sores all over his body. Job was forced to relieve the pain by scraping himself with a piece of broken pottery. His wife incited him to "curse God, and die" but Job answered "Shall we eceive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" Even then Job did not sin by cursing God. (Job 2:1-10) -source was a wikipedia excerpt of The Bible

I made a mistake. Actually, Job was tested by God. See even christians make mistakes. We all do, that's why it's not good to judge other people. Always, look at the speck in your own eye first.

Job was not tested by Satan, but by God through Satan. "And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?" Job 1:8 God brings Job up to Satan, not the other way around. Satan then challenges God that Job will curse God if God stops protecting Job. "And the LORD 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 the LORD." Job 1:12 Now this right here is very interesting. This God (who by Christian definition knows all and is at war with Satan) feels the need to prove to Satan what Job will do (which God should, by Christian definition, already know). Why does he care what Satan thinks, or respond to Satan's petty thoughts? This whole scenario sounds more like Satan works for God in tempting (more like torture in Job's case) God's followers. Anyway, God tells Satan that he can touch Job's belongings, but not Job himself. "And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee." Job 1:15-16 How...interesting. His servants are now slaughtered, ostensibly because of God's permission to Satan, as if they are POSSESSIONS. If this weren't bad enough, it gets worse. "While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee." Job 1:17-19 Here we hear about how Job's other possesions are destroyed: his camels and children. Yup, his POSSESSIONS: camels and children. These sons die because God decided to take Satan up on a bet about their father. Presumably, the daughters who were sitting with the sons also died, but they don't appear to be worthy of mention. "Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips." Job 2:9-10. Now, here is his wife who lost her children because God had a bet with Satan, and Job calling her foolish for wanting to curse this God. Curse this God? I'd be trying to kill him. So what did Job lose? "His" children. "His" servants. His camels and sheep. All his worldly material things. His health. Most likely the respect of his wife. But please do not lay the blame at the foot of Satan. This story is one of the sickest stories in the whole Bible, and Satan isn't the bad guy. Yahweh is. (At least from the Biblical standpoint. The story actually is much older and originates in Mesopotamia.)
