Job 2:11-13

New Century Version

Job’s Three Friends Come to Help

¹¹ Now Job had three friends: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. When these friends heard about Job’s troubles, they agreed to meet and visit him. They wanted to show their concern and to comfort him. ¹² They saw Job from far away, but he looked so different they almost didn’t recognize him. They began to cry loudly and tore their robes and put dirt on their heads to show how sad they were. ¹³ Then they sat on the ground with Job seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him because they saw how much he was suffering.
