Job 2

Job 2
Revised Geneva Translation
2 And one day, the children of God came and stood before the LORD. And Satan also came among them and stood before the LORD.
2 Then the LORD said to Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going to and fro on the Earth, and from walking in it.”
3 And the LORD said to Satan, “Have you not considered My servant, Job, how no one is like him on the Earth, an upright and just man, one who fears God and turns away from evil? For he still continues in his uprightness, although you moved Me against him, to destroy him without cause.”
4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Skin for skin! And all that a man has, he will give for his life.
5 “But now, stretch out Your Hand and touch his bones and his flesh, to see if he will not blaspheme You to Your Face.”
6 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Lo, he is in your hand. But preserve his life.”
7 So Satan departed from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils, from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself. And he sat down among the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still continue in your uprightness? Blaspheme God and die!”
10 But he said to her, “You speak like a foolish woman. What? Shall we receive good from the Hand of God, and not receive misery?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Now, when Job’s three friends heard of all this calamity that had come upon him, they came, everyone from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had agreed together to come to lament with him, and to comfort him.
12 So, when they lifted up their eyes from far off, they did not know him. Therefore, they lifted up their voices and wept. And every one of them tore his garment and sprinkled dust upon his head, toward the sky.
13 So they sat by him, upon the ground, for seven days and seven nights. And no one spoke a word to him. For they saw that the grief was very great.

Job 2
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.

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.

Jobs hälsa angrips
2 Nu kom änglarna på nytt fram inför Herren, och Satan var med dem.
2 Varifrån kommer du? frågade Herren Satan.Från en färd runt jorden, svarade Satan.
3 Nå, har du lagt märke till min tjänare Job? frågade Herren. Han är den finaste människan på hela jorden, en god man som fruktar Gud och inte vill ha något med det onda att göra. Han har bevarat sin tro på mig, trots att du övertalade mig att utan orsak låta olycka drabba honom.
4-5 Det är inte så konstigt, svarade Satan. En människa ger vad som helst för att rädda sitt eget skinn. Men rör hans kropp, så ska du få se. Då kommer han att förbanna dig rakt i ansiktet!
6 Gör vad du vill med honom, svarade Herren. Men du måste skona hans liv!
7 Satan lämnade då Herren, och omedelbart drabbades Job av fruktansvärda bölder över hela kroppen, från huvud till fot.
8 Då satte sig Job och sörjde i aska och tog en lerskärva och skrapade sig med den.
9 Hans hustru sa: Försöker du fortfarande vara gudfruktig, trots att Gud har gjort allt det här mot dig? Förbanna honom och dö!
10 Men han svarade: Du talar som en dåre. Vad menar du? Skulle vi bara ta emot det som är gott från Guds hand och aldrig hans prövningar? Trots allt som hade hänt honom sa Job aldrig något ont mot Herren.
Job får besök av några vänner
11 När tre av Jobs vänner fick höra om alla tragedier som drabbat honom, tog de kontakt med varandra och reste till honom för att trösta och beklaga honom. De tre var Elifas från Teman, Bildad från Sua och Sofar från Naama.
12 Job var så förändrad att de knappt kände igen honom. Under högljudd och förtvivlad gråt rev de sönder sina mantlar och strödde jord på sina huvuden för att demonstrera sin sorg.
13 Sedan satt de på marken tillsammans med Job, alldeles tysta, i sju dagar och sju nätter. Ingen av dem ville säga ett ord till honom, för de insåg att hans lidande var fruktansvärt svårt.
