Job 2:8-10
Names of God Bible
8 Job took a piece of broken pottery to scratch himself as he sat in the ashes.
9 His wife asked him, “Are you still holding on to your principles? Curse Elohim and die!”
10 He said to her, “You’re talking like a godless fool. We accept the good that Elohim gives us. Shouldn’t we also accept the bad?”
Through all this Job’s lips did not utter one sinful word.
