Job’s Three Friends
11 Now when Job’s three friends—Eliphaz the Temanite,(A) Bildad the Shuhite,(B) and Zophar the Naamathite—heard about all this adversity that had happened to him, each of them came from his home. They met together to go and sympathize with him and comfort(C) him. 12 When they looked from a distance, they could barely recognize him. They wept aloud,(D) and each man tore his robe and threw dust into the air and on his head.(E) 13 Then they sat on the ground with him seven days and nights,(F) but no one spoke a word to him because they saw that his suffering(G) was very intense.

Job 2:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 Thus[a] Job’s three friends heard of this calamity that had come upon him. So[b] each set out from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite. And they met[c] together to come to console him and to comfort him.
12 Thus[d] they lifted up their eyes[e] from afar, but[f] they did not recognize him, so[g] they raised their voice, and they wept, and each man tore his outer garment[h] and threw dust on their heads toward the sky.[i] 13 Then[j] they sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, but[k] no one spoke[l] a word to him because they saw that his[m] suffering was very great.
