Job 2:11-13
New International Version

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

Job 2:11-13
International Standard Version

Job’s Friends Visit

11 When Job’s three friends heard all these tragedies that happened to him, they each traveled from their home towns[a] to visit him. Eliphaz came from Teman,[b] Bildad came from Shuah,[c] and Zophar came from Naamath.[d] They met together and went to console and comfort him. 12 Observing him from a distance, at first they didn’t even recognize him, so they raised their voices and burst into tears. They each ripped their robes, threw ashes into the air on their heads, 13 and sat with Job[e] on the ground for a full week[f] without saying a word, since they could see the great extent of his anguish.
