[1] Again, on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, Satan came also among them to present himself before Yahweh. [2] Yahweh said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” [3] Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.” [4] Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. [5] But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.” [6] Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.” [7] So Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head. [8] He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes. [9] Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.” [10] But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?”In all this Job didn’t sin with his lips. [11] Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him. [12] When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky. [13] So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
King James Version
[1] Again there was a day H3117 when the sons H1121 of God H430 came H935 to present H3320 themselves before the Lord, H3068 and Satan H7854 came H935 also H1571 among H8432 them to present H3320 himself before the Lord. H3068 [2] And the Lord H3068 said H559 unto H413 Satan, H7854 From whence H335 comest H935 thou? And Satan H7854 answered H6030 the Lord, H3068 and said, H559 From going to and fro H7751 in the earth, H776 and from walking up and down H1980 in it. [3] And the Lord H3068 said H559 unto H413 Satan, H7854 Hast thou H7760 considered H3820 my servant H5650 Job, H347 that there is none like him in the earth, H776 a perfect H8535 and an upright H3477 man, H376 one that feareth H3373 God, H430 and escheweth H5493 evil? H7451 and still he holdeth fast H2388 his integrity, H8538 although thou movedst H5496 me against him, to destroy H1104 him§ without cause. H2600 [4] And Satan H7854 answered H6030 H853 the Lord, H3068 and said, H559 Skin H5785 for skin, H5785 yea, all that a man H376 hath will he give H5414 for his life. H5315 [5] But H199 put forth H7971 thine hand H3027 now, and touch H5060 his bone H6106 and his flesh, H1320 and he will curse H1288 thee to thy face. H6440 [6] And the Lord H3068 said H559 unto H413 Satan, H7854 Behold, he is in thine hand; H3027 but save H8104§ H853 his life. H5315 [7] So went H3318 Satan H7854 forth H3318 from the presence H6440 of the Lord, H3068 and smote H5221 H853 Job H347 with H854 sore H7451 boils H7822 from the sole H3709 of his foot H7272 unto H5704 his crown. H6936 [8] And he took H3947 him a potsherd H2789 to scrape H1623 himself withal; and he sat down H3427 among H8432 the ashes. H665 [9] Then said H559 his wife H802 unto him, Dost thou still retain H2388 thine integrity? H8538 curse H1288 God, H430 and die. H4191 [10] But he said H559 unto H413 her, Thou speakest H1696 as one H259 of the foolish women H5036 speaketh. H1696 What? H1571 shall we receive H6901 H853 good H2896 at the hand of God, H430 and shall we not receive H6901 evil? H7451 In all this did not Job H347 sin H2398 with H854 his lips. H8193

His Friends

[11] Now when Job’s H347 three H7969 friends H7453 heard H8085 of all this evil H7451 that was come H935 upon H5921 him, they came H935 every H3605 one H376 from his own place; H4725 Eliphaz H464 the Temanite, H8489 and Bildad H1085 the Shuhite, H7747 and Zophar H6691 the Naamathite: H5284 for they had made an appointment H3259 together H3162 to come H935 to mourn H5110 with him and to comfort H5162 him. [12] And when they lifted up H5375 H853 their eyes H5869 afar off, H7350 and knew H5234 him not, they lifted up H5375 their voice, H6963 and wept; H1058 and they rent H7167 every one H376 his mantle, H4598 and sprinkled H2236 dust H6083 upon H5921 their heads H7218 toward heaven. H8064 [13] So they sat down H3427 with H854 him upon the ground H776 seven H7651 days H3117 and seven H7651 nights, H3915 and none spake H1696 a word H1697 unto H413 him: for they saw H7200 that his grief H3511 was very H3966 great.
