Like I said before. I believe he is speaking generally when he says he "knows" Jobs' heart. He isn't speaking literally.

If Job WOULD have turned his back on GOD, I DO believe it would have suprised GOD.

If I go out and kill somebody tomorrow out of cold blood I'm almost sure it would be a suprise to GOD. God "knows" my heart. He knows I'm not a murderer. He doesn't expect me to be a killer.
