Job 2
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Attack on Job’s Health
2 One day the heavenly beings[a] came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b] also came among them to present himself before the Lord. 2 The Lord said to Satan,[c] ‘Where have you come from?’ Satan[d] answered the Lord, ‘From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.’ 3 The Lord said to Satan,[e] ‘Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man who fears God and turns away from evil. He still persists in his integrity, although you incited me against him, to destroy him for no reason.’ 4 Then Satan[f] answered the Lord, ‘Skin for skin! All that people have they will give to save their lives.[g] 5 But stretch out your hand now and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.’ 6 The Lord said to Satan,[h] ‘Very well, he is in your power; only spare his life.’
7 So Satan[i] went out from the presence of the Lord, and inflicted loathsome sores on Job from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 8 Job[j] took a potsherd with which to scrape himself, and sat among the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, ‘Do you still persist in your integrity? Curse[k] God, and die.’ 10 But he said to her, ‘You speak as any foolish woman would speak. Shall we receive the good at the hand of God, and not receive the bad?’ In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
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. 12 When they saw him from a distance, they did not recognize him, and they raised their voices and wept aloud; they tore their robes and threw dust in the air upon their heads. 13 They sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.

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.

2 Quando un giorno i figli di Dio andarono a presentarsi al Signore, anche satana andò in mezzo a loro a presentarsi al Signore. 2 Il Signore disse a satana: «Da dove vieni?». Satana rispose al Signore: «Da un giro sulla terra che ho percorsa». 3 Il Signore disse a satana: «Hai posto attenzione al mio servo Giobbe? Nessuno è come lui sulla terra: uomo integro e retto, teme Dio ed è alieno dal male. Egli è ancor saldo nella sua integrità; tu mi hai spinto contro di lui, senza ragione, per rovinarlo». 4 Satana rispose al Signore: «Pelle per pelle; tutto quanto ha, l'uomo è pronto a darlo per la sua vita. 5 Ma stendi un poco la mano e toccalo nell'osso e nella carne e vedrai come ti benedirà in faccia!». 6 Il Signore disse a satana: «Eccolo nelle tue mani! Soltanto risparmia la sua vita».
7 Satana si allontanò dal Signore e colpì Giobbe con una piaga maligna, dalla pianta dei piedi alla cima del capo. 8 Giobbe prese un coccio per grattarsi e stava seduto in mezzo alla cenere. 9 Allora sua moglie disse: «Rimani ancor fermo nella tua integrità? Benedici Dio e muori!». 10 Ma egli le rispose: «Come parlerebbe una stolta tu hai parlato! Se da Dio accettiamo il bene, perché non dovremo accettare il male?».
In tutto questo Giobbe non peccò con le sue labbra.
11 Nel frattempo tre amici di Giobbe erano venuti a sapere di tutte le disgrazie che si erano abbattute su di lui. Partirono, ciascuno dalla sua contrada, Elifaz il Temanita, Bildad il Suchita e Zofar il Naamatita, e si accordarono per andare a condolersi con lui e a consolarlo. 12 Alzarono gli occhi da lontano ma non lo riconobbero e, dando in grida, si misero a piangere. Ognuno si stracciò le vesti e si cosparse il capo di polvere. 13 Poi sedettero accanto a lui in terra, per sette giorni e sette notti, e nessuno gli rivolse una parola, perché vedevano che molto grande era il suo dolore.
