Job 2:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ His wife said to him, “Are you still continuing to be faithful to the Lord? Speak evil things against him and die!”

¹⁰ Job replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. We accept good things from God. So we should also accept trouble when he sends it.”

In spite of everything, Job didn’t say anything that was sinful.

¹¹ Job had three friends named Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They heard about all the troubles that had come to Job. So they started out from their homes. They had agreed to meet together. They wanted to go and show their concern for Job. They wanted to comfort him.
