Job 2
New American Standard Bible 1995
Job Loses His Health
2 (A)Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the Lord. 2 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” 3 The Lord said to Satan, “Have you [a]considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man [b]fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still (B)holds fast his integrity, although you incited Me against him to [c]ruin him without cause.” 4 Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 5 (C)However, put forth Your hand now, and (D)touch his bone and his flesh; he will curse You to Your face.” 6 So the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your [d]power, only spare his life.”
7 Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and smote Job with (E)sore boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself while (F)he was sitting among the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die!” 10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. (G)Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?” (H)In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, they came each one from his own place, Eliphaz the (I)Temanite, Bildad the (J)Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to (K)sympathize with him and comfort him. 12 When they lifted up their eyes at a distance and did not recognize him, they raised their voices and wept. And each of them (L)tore his robe and they (M)threw dust over their heads toward the sky. 13 (N)Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.

Satan Attacks Job’s Health
2 Again (A)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 to Satan, “From where do you come?”
(B)Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”
3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, (C)a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he (D)holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, (E)to [a]destroy him without cause.”
4 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 5 (F)But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his (G)bone and his flesh, and he will surely [b]curse You to Your face!”
6 (H)And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils (I)from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 8 And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself (J)while he sat in the midst of the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? [c]Curse God and die!”
10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. (K)Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” (L)In all this Job did not (M)sin with his lips.
Job’s Three Friends
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place—Eliphaz the (N)Temanite, Bildad the (O)Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come (P)and mourn with him, and to comfort him. 12 And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and (Q)sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven. 13 So they sat down with him on the ground (R)seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.

Segunda prueba de Job
2 Llegó el día en que los ángeles[a] debían hacer acto de presencia ante el Señor, y con ellos llegó también Satanás para presentarse ante el Señor. 2 Y el Señor le preguntó:
―¿De dónde vienes?
―Vengo de rondar la tierra, y de recorrerla de un extremo a otro —le respondió Satanás.
3 ―¿Te has puesto a pensar en mi siervo Job? —volvió a preguntarle el Señor—. No hay en la tierra nadie como él; es un hombre recto e intachable, que me honra y vive apartado del mal. Y, aunque tú me incitaste contra él para arruinarlo sin motivo, ¡todavía mantiene firme su integridad!
4 ―¡Una cosa por la otra! —replicó Satanás—. Con tal de salvar la vida, el hombre da todo lo que tiene. 5 Pero extiende la mano y hiérelo, ¡a ver si no te maldice en tu propia cara!
6 ―Muy bien —dijo el Señor a Satanás—, Job está en tus manos. Eso sí, respeta su vida.
7 Dicho esto, Satanás se retiró de la presencia del Señor para afligir a Job con dolorosas llagas desde la planta del pie hasta la coronilla. 8 Y Job, sentado en medio de las cenizas, tomó un pedazo de teja para rascarse constantemente.
9 Su esposa le reprochó:
―¿Todavía mantienes firme tu integridad? ¡Maldice a Dios y muérete!
10 Job le respondió:
―Mujer, hablas como una necia. Si de Dios sabemos recibir lo bueno, ¿no sabremos recibir también lo malo?
A pesar de todo esto, Job no pecó ni de palabra.
Los tres amigos de Job
11 Tres amigos de Job se enteraron de todo el mal que le había sobrevenido, y de común acuerdo salieron de sus respectivos lugares para ir juntos a expresarle a Job sus condolencias y consuelo. Ellos eran Elifaz de Temán, Bildad de Súah, y Zofar de Namat. 12 Desde cierta distancia alcanzaron a verlo, y casi no lo pudieron reconocer. Se echaron a llorar a gritos, rasgándose las vestiduras y arrojándose polvo y ceniza sobre la cabeza, 13 y durante siete días y siete noches se sentaron en el suelo para hacerle compañía. Ninguno de ellos se atrevía a decirle nada, pues veían que su sufrimiento era muy grande.
