Satanic Selfishness
Job 1:9
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?


He himself has sunk into an evil condition, for he delights in making even good men seem bad, in fitting good deeds with evil motives. Self is his centre, not God; and he suspects all the world of a selfishness like his own. He cannot, or will not, believe in an unselfish, a disinterested goodness.

(S. Cox, D. D.)
