Job’s Three Friends

¹¹ Now when Job’s three friends heard of all these troubles that had come upon him, each of them set out from his home—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They met together to go and console and comfort him.^(A)

¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

Judgment on Edom

⁷ Concerning Edom.

Thus says the Lord of hosts:

¹¹ Then there came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house; they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and each of them gave him a piece of money^[a] and a gold ring.^(A)

² She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.^(A)

¹¹ The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.

²⁶ If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.

³² The sons of Keturah, Abraham’s concubine: she bore Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. The sons of Jokshan: Sheba and Dedan.^(A)
