Job 2
New King James Version
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.
約伯記 2
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
撒但再試探約伯
2 又有一天， 神的眾使者[a]來侍立在耶和華面前，撒但也來在其中。 2 耶和華問撒但說：「你從哪裏來？」撒但回答說：「我從地上走來走去，在那裏往返。」 3 耶和華對撒但說：「你曾用心察看我的僕人約伯沒有？地上再沒有人像他那樣完全、正直、敬畏 神、遠離惡事。你雖激起我攻擊他，無故吞滅他，他仍然持守他的純正。」 4 撒但回答耶和華說：「人以皮代皮，情願捨去一切所有的，來保全性命。 5 但你若伸手傷他的骨頭和他的肉，他必當面背棄[b]你。」 6 耶和華對撒但說：「看哪，他在你手中，只要留下他的性命。」
7 於是撒但從耶和華面前退出去，擊打約伯，使他從腳掌到頭頂長毒瘡。 8 約伯就坐在灰燼中，拿瓦片刮身體。
9 他的妻子對他說：「你仍然持守你的純正嗎？你背棄 神，死了吧！」 10 約伯卻對她說：「你說話，正如愚頑的婦人。唉！難道我們從 神手裏得福，不也受禍嗎？」在這一切的事上，約伯並沒有以口犯罪。
三個朋友來安慰約伯
11 約伯的三個朋友，提幔人以利法、書亞人比勒達、拿瑪人瑣法，聽說這一切的災禍臨到他身上，各人就從自己的地方相約同來，為他悲傷，安慰他。 12 他們遠遠地舉目觀看，認不出他來，就放聲大哭。各人撕裂外袍，向空中撒塵土，落在自己的頭上。 13 他們同他七天七夜坐在地上，一句話也不對他說，因為他們見到了極大的痛苦。
Job 2
English Standard Version
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 also came among them to present himself before the Lord. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.” 3 And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still (B)holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to destroy him (C)without reason.” 4 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But (D)stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will (E)curse you to your face.” 6 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life.”
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and struck Job with loathsome (F)sores from (G)the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 8 And he took (H)a piece of broken pottery with which to scrape himself while he sat in (I)the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still (J)hold fast your integrity? (K)Curse God and die.” 10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the (L)foolish women would speak. (M)Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?”[a] (N)In all this Job did not (O)sin with his lips.
Job's Three Friends
11 Now when Job's three (P)friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came each from his own place, Eliphaz (Q)the Temanite, Bildad (R)the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They made an appointment together to come to (S)show him sympathy and comfort him. 12 And when they saw him from a distance, they did not recognize him. And they raised their voices and wept, and they (T)tore their robes and sprinkled (U)dust on their heads toward heaven. 13 And they sat with him on the ground (V)seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.
