Job's Three Friends

¹¹Now when Job's three ^(A)friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came each from his own place, Eliphaz ^(B)the Temanite, Bildad ^(C)the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They made an appointment together to come to ^(D)show him sympathy and comfort him. ¹²And when they saw him from a distance, they did not recognize him. And they raised their voices and wept, and they ^(E)tore their robes and sprinkled ^(F)dust on their heads toward heaven. ¹³And they sat with him on the ground ^(G)seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.

English Standard Version

The Lord Rebukes Job's Friends

⁷After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz ^(A)the Temanite: “My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. ⁸Now therefore take ^(B)seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and ^(C)offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall ^(D)pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.”
