Job’s Three Friends

11 Then Job’s three friends heard of all this calamity that had come upon him. So they came each one from his own place, Eliphaz the (A)Temanite, Bildad the (B)Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to (C)console him and comfort him. 12 Then they lifted up their eyes at a distance and did not recognize him, and they lifted up their voices and wept. And each of them (D)tore his robe, and they (E)threw dust over their heads toward the sky. 13 (F)Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.

International Standard Version

Job’s Friends Visit

11 When Job’s three friends heard all these tragedies that happened to him, they each traveled from their home towns[a] to visit him. Eliphaz came from Teman,[b] Bildad came from Shuah,[c] and Zophar came from Naamath.[d] They met together and went to console and comfort him. 12 Observing him from a distance, at first they didn’t even recognize him, so they raised their voices and burst into tears. They each ripped their robes, threw ashes into the air on their heads, 13 and sat with Job[e] on the ground for a full week[f] without saying a word, since they could see the great extent of his anguish.
