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 ^(A)Temanite, Bildad the ^(B)Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come ^(C)and mourn with him, and to comfort him.

¹¹ Therefore ^[a]comfort each other and ^[b]edify one another, just as you also are doing.

^18 (A)Therefore comfort one another with these words.
