Job 2:8-10
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
8 And he took a piece of broken pottery with which to scrape himself, and he sat [down] among the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, Do you still hold fast your blameless uprightness? Renounce God and die!
10 But he said to her, You speak as one of the impious and foolish women would speak. What? Shall we accept [only] good at the hand of God and shall we not accept [also] misfortune and what is of a bad nature? In [spite of] all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
