Job 2
Modern English Version
2 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and the Adversary came also among them to present himself before the Lord. 2 The Lord said to the Adversary, “From where do you come?”
And the Adversary answered the Lord, saying, “From roaming on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.”
3 The Lord said to the Adversary, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and an upright man, who fears God and avoids evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you moved Me against him, to destroy him without cause.”
4 The Adversary answered the Lord, saying, “Skin for skin; yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 5 Put forth Your hand now and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse You to Your face.”
6 The Lord said to the Adversary, “Very well, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”
7 Therefore, the Adversary went out from the presence of the Lord, and he afflicted Job with severe sores from the sole of his foot to the top of his head. 8 So he took a piece of broken pottery with which to scrape himself while he was sitting among the ashes.
9 His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die.”
10 He said to her, “You talk like one of the foolish women talks. Will we indeed accept the good from God but not accept the adversity?”
In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Three friends of Job heard about all this evil that had come upon him, and each one came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They had agreed together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. 12 They saw him from a distance and did not recognize him, so they wept aloud. Each one tore his robe, and they tossed dust into the air above their heads. 13 Then they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights. Meanwhile, no one was speaking to him at all because they saw that his pain was severe.

Deuxième épreuve
2 Un autre jour, les fils de Dieu vinrent se présenter devant l'Eternel, et Satan vint aussi au milieu d'eux pour se présenter devant l'Eternel. 2 L'Eternel dit à Satan: «D'où viens-tu?» Satan répondit à l'Eternel: «De parcourir la terre et de m'y promener.» 3 L'Eternel dit à Satan: «As-tu remarqué mon serviteur Job? Il n'y a personne comme lui sur la terre. C'est un homme intègre et droit. Il craint Dieu et se détourne du mal. Il persévère dans son intégrité et c’est sans raison que tu m'incites à le perdre.» 4 Satan répondit à l'Eternel: «Peau contre peau! Tout ce qu’un homme possède, il est prêt à l’échanger contre sa vie. 5 Mais porte donc la main contre lui, touche à ses os et à sa chair, et je suis sûr qu'il te maudira en face.» 6 L'Eternel dit à Satan: «Le voici: je te le livre. Seulement, épargne sa vie.»
7 Satan se retira alors de la présence de l'Eternel. Puis il frappa Job d'un ulcère purulent, depuis la plante des pieds jusqu'au sommet du crâne. 8 Job prit un tesson pour se gratter et s'assit sur de la cendre. 9 Sa femme lui dit: «Tu persévères dans ton intégrité? Maudis donc Dieu et meurs!» 10 Mais Job lui répondit: «Tu tiens le langage d’une folle. Nous acceptons le bien de la part de Dieu, et nous n’accepterions pas aussi le mal?»
Dans tout cela, Job ne pécha pas par ses lèvres.
Arrivée des amis de Job
11 Trois amis de Job apprirent tous les malheurs qui l’avaient frappé. Il s’agissait d’Eliphaz de Théman, de Bildad de Shuach et de Tsophar de Naama. Venus chacun de son pays, ils se concertèrent pour aller exprimer leur compassion à Job et le réconforter. 12 Ils l’aperçurent de loin, mais ils ne le reconnurent pas. Ils se mirent alors à pleurer tout haut, déchirèrent leurs manteaux et jetèrent de la poussière en l'air au-dessus de leur tête. 13 Pendant 7 jours et 7 nuits, ils restèrent assis par terre à côté de lui, sans lui dire un mot, car ils voyaient à quel point sa douleur était grande.

King James Version
2 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.
2 And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
3 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
6 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.

Segunda prueba de Job
2 Llegaron nuevamente los ángeles a presentarse ante el Señor, y con ellos el ángel acusador.
2 ―¿De dónde vienes? —le preguntó el Señor al acusador. Y este respondió: —De rondar la tierra.
3 ―Bien, ¿te fijaste en mi siervo Job? —preguntó el Señor—. Es el mejor hombre de toda la tierra; hombre que me teme y se abstiene de todo mal. Ha mantenido su fe en mí no obstante haberme incitado tú a que te dejara perjudicarlo sin causa alguna.
4-5 ―¿Y qué si lo perjudico en carne propia? —respondió el acusador—. El hombre dará cualquier cosa por salvar su vida. ¡Dáñalo con una enfermedad, y te maldecirá en tu propia cara!
6 ―Haz con él como quieras —respondió el Señor—, pero no le quites la vida. 7 Entonces el ángel acusador salió de la presencia del Señor e hizo brotar en Job dolorosas llagas desde la cabeza hasta los pies. 8 Y Job, sentado en medio de las cenizas, tomó un pedazo de teja para rascarse constantemente. 9 Su esposa le reprochó:
―¿Persistes en tu vida piadosa viendo todo lo que Dios te ha hecho? ¡Maldícelo y muérete!
10 Pero él respondió:
―Hablas como una necia. ¿Pues qué? ¿Hemos de recibir de manos de Dios únicamente lo agradable y nunca lo desagradable?
En todo esto Job no pecó ni de palabra.
Los tres amigos de Job
11 Había tres amigos de Job, que al enterarse de la gran tragedia que le había sobrevenido, se pusieron de acuerdo para ir a consolarlo y animarlo. Se llamaban Elifaz de Temán, Bildad de Súah y Zofar de Namat. 12 Job estaba tan cambiado que casi no lo reconocieron. Sus amigos rompieron a llorar, rasgaron su ropa, lanzaron polvo al aire y se echaron tierra en la cabeza en señal de dolor. 13 Luego se sentaron silenciosos en el suelo junto a Job durante siete días y siete noches, y ninguno dijo nada; comprendían que su aflicción era tal que no había lugar para las palabras.

2 On another day the angels[a](A) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them(B) to present himself before him. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”(C)
3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.(D) And he still maintains his integrity,(E) though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.”(F)
4 “Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has(G) for his own life. 5 But now stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones,(H) and he will surely curse you to your face.”(I)
6 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands;(J) but you must spare his life.”(K)
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.(L) 8 Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes.(M)
9 His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity?(N) Curse God and die!”(O)
10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish[b] woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”(P)
In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.(Q)
11 When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite,(R) Bildad the Shuhite(S) and Zophar the Naamathite,(T) heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.(U) 12 When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him;(V) they began to weep aloud,(W) and they tore their robes(X) and sprinkled dust on their heads.(Y) 13 Then they sat on the ground(Z) with him for seven days and seven nights.(AA) No one said a word to him,(AB) because they saw how great his suffering was.
