Holy Scripture
Job 1:11
A church father on this verse
“"[God's] hand" must be understood in a variety of ways. It is either the power that punishes or serves punishment, usually referred to in the Scripture as "tools of wrath," or the protecting and guarding power in the Scripture, "No one can snatch them out of the Father's hand." Even the Son can be shielded by the hand…”
