Job’s Three Friends

¹¹ Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place—Eliphaz the ^(A)Temanite, Bildad the ^(B)Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come ^(C)and mourn with him, and to comfort him. ¹² And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and ^(D)sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven. ¹³ So they sat down with him on the ground ^(E)seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
