Job’s Three Friends
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all these troubles that had come upon him, each of them set out from his home—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They met together to go and console and comfort him.(A) 12 When they saw him from a distance, they did not recognize him, and they raised their voices and wept aloud; they tore their robes and threw dust in the air upon their heads.(B) 13 They sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.(C)

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.
