Jobs andra prövning
2 En dag kom Guds söner och trädde fram inför Herren. Också Åklagaren var med ibland dem och trädde fram inför Herren. 2 Då frågade Herren Åklagaren: "Varifrån kommer du?" Åklagaren svarade: "Från en färd utöver jorden, där jag har vandrat omkring." 3 Herren sade till Åklagaren: "Har du gett akt på min tjänare Job? Ty på jorden finns ingen som är så from och rättsinnig, ingen som så fruktar Gud och undviker det onda. Ännu står han fast i sin fromhet fastän du har uppeggat mig mot honom för att utan skäl förgöra honom." 4 Åklagaren svarade Herren: "Hud för hud. Allt vad man äger ger man ju för att rädda sitt liv. 5 Men räck ut din hand och rör vid hans kött och ben. Helt säkert kommer han då att förbanna dig rakt i ansiktet." 6 Herren sade till Åklagaren: "Nåväl, jag ger honom i din hand. Men du måste skona hans liv."
7 Och Åklagaren gick bort från Herrens ansikte och slog Job med svåra bölder, från fotsulan ända till hjässan. 8 Job tog då en lerskärva att skrapa sig med, där han satt mitt i askan.
9 Då sade hans hustru till honom: "Står du ännu fast i din fromhet? Förbanna Gud och dö." 10 Men han svarade henne: "Du talar som en dåraktig kvinna skulle tala. Om vi tar emot det goda av Gud, skall vi då inte också ta emot det onda?"
Under allt detta syndade inte Job med sina läppar.
Jobs tre vänner
11 När tre av Jobs vänner fick höra om alla de olyckor som hade drabbat honom, kom de var och en från sin ort: Elifas från Teman, Bildad från Sua och Sofar från Naama. De enades om att de skulle gå till honom för att visa sitt deltagande och trösta honom. 12 Men när de på avstånd fick se honom och inte kunde känna igen honom, brast de i gråt och rev sönder sina mantlar och kastade stoft mot himlen, ner över sina huvuden. 13 Sedan satt de med honom på marken i sju dagar och sju nätter utan att någon av dem sade ett ord till honom, eftersom de såg att hans plåga var mycket stor.

Satan Challenges the Lord Again
2 One day when the sons of Elohim came to stand in front of Yahweh, Satan the Accuser came along with them.
2 Yahweh asked Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered Yahweh, “From wandering all over the earth.”
3 Yahweh asked Satan, “Have you thought about my servant Job? No one in the world is like him! He is a man of integrity: He is decent, he fears Elohim, and he stays away from evil. And he still holds on to his principles. You’re trying to provoke me into ruining him for no reason.”
4 Satan answered Yahweh, “Skin for skin! Certainly, a man will give everything he has for his life. 5 But stretch out your hand, and strike his flesh and bones. I bet he’ll curse you to your face.”
6 Yahweh told Satan, “He is in your power, but you must spare his life!”
Job’s Second Crisis
7 Satan left Yahweh’s presence and struck Job with painful boils from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. 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.
11 When Job’s three friends heard about all the terrible things that had happened to him, each of them came from his home—Eliphaz of Teman, Bildad of Shuah, Zophar of Naama. They had agreed they would go together to sympathize with Job and comfort him.
12 When they saw him from a distance, they didn’t even recognize him. They cried out loud and wept, and each of them tore his own clothes in grief. They threw dust on their heads. 13 Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him because they saw that he was in such great pain.

Job 2
New International Version
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.
