Job 2:9-13

New International Version

⁹ His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity?^(A) Curse God and die!”^(B)

¹⁰ He replied, “You are talking like a foolish^[a] woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”^(C)

In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.^(D)

¹¹ When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite,^(E) Bildad the Shuhite^(F) and Zophar the Naamathite,^(G) 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.^{(H) 12} When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him;^(I) they began to weep aloud,^(J) and they tore their robes^(K) and sprinkled dust on their heads.^{(L) 13} Then they sat on the ground^(M) with him for seven days and seven nights.^(N) No one said a word to him,^(O) because they saw how great his suffering was.
