Satan Appears Before God Again
2 On another day the angels came to show themselves before the Lord. And Satan also came with them. 2 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the Lord, “I have been wandering around the earth. I have been going back and forth in it.”
3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? No one else on earth is like him. He is an honest man, innocent of any wrong. He honors God and stays away from evil. You caused me to ruin him for no good reason. But he continues to be without blame.”
4 “One skin for another!” Satan answered. “A man will give all he has to save his own life. 5 But reach out your hand and destroy his own flesh and bones. Then he will curse you to your face.”
6 The Lord said to Satan, “All right, then. Job is in your power. But you must let him live.”
7 So Satan left the Lord’s presence. And he put painful sores all over Job’s body. They went from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. 8 Then Job took a piece of broken pottery. And he used it to scrape himself. He sat in ashes to show how upset he was.
9 Job’s wife said to him, “Are you still trying to stay innocent? You should just curse God and die!”
10 Job answered, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Should we take only good things from God and not trouble?” In all this Job did not sin in what he said.
Job’s Three Friends
11 Now Job had three friends. They were Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite. These friends heard about the troubles that had happened to Job. So they agreed to meet and go see Job. They wanted to show him they were upset for him, too. And they wanted to comfort him. 12 They saw Job from far away. But he looked so different they almost didn’t recognize him. They began to cry loudly. They tore their robes and put dirt on their heads to show how sad they were. 13 Then they sat on the ground with Job seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him. This was because they saw how much he was suffering.

2 Un día se presentaron ante el Señor los hijos de Dios; también Satán entró con ellos.
2 El Señor preguntó a Satán:
— ¿De dónde vienes?
Satán respondió al Señor:
— Vengo de dar vueltas por la tierra; de andar por ella.
3 El Señor añadió:
— ¿Te has fijado en mi siervo Job? En la tierra no hay otro como él: es un hombre justo, honrado y respetuoso de Dios, y vive apartado del mal. Pero tú me has incitado contra él para que lo aniquilara sin motivo; sin embargo, todavía persiste en su honradez.
4 Satán contestó al Señor:
— Piel por piel; cualquiera lo da todo por salvar su vida. 5 Te apuesto que si pones la mano sobre él y lo hieres en su carne y en sus huesos, te maldecirá a la cara.
6 El Señor respondió a Satán:
— Haz lo que quieras con él, pero respétale la vida.
Satán abandonó la presencia del Señor.
7 Entonces hirió a Job con llagas malignas, desde la planta del pie hasta la cabeza. 8 Job, sentado en el polvo, se rascaba con una tejuela. 9 Su mujer le dijo:
— ¿Todavía persistes en tu honradez? Maldice a Dios y muérete.
10 Job contestó:
— Hablas como una insensata. Si aceptamos de Dios los bienes, ¿no vamos a aceptar los males?
A pesar de lo ocurrido, Job no pecó con sus labios.
Entreacto
11 Tres amigos de Job, cuando se enteraron de las desgracias que había sufrido, llegaron desde sus respectivos países. Eran Elifaz de Temán, Bildad de Súaj y Sofar de Naamat, que se pusieron de acuerdo para ir a compartir su pena y consolarlo. 12 Lo vieron de lejos pero no lo reconocieron; entonces rompieron a llorar, se rasgaron el manto y echaron polvo sobre sus cabezas y hacia el cielo. 13 Después se sentaron junto a Job en el suelo y estuvieron siete días y siete noches; pero ninguno le decía nada, viendo su terrible sufrimiento.

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.
