Job 2:9-13

9Then Job’s wifeH802 saidH559 to him, “Do you stillH5750 retainH2388 your integrityH8538? CurseH12881 GodH430 and dieH4191!”

10“You speakH1696 as aH259 foolish womanH5036 speaksH1696H1571,” he toldH559 herH413. “Should we acceptH6901 fromH854 GodH430 only goodH2896 and notH3808H6901 adversityH7451?”

In allH3605 thisH2063, JobH347 did notH3808 sinH2398 in what he saidH8193.

11Now when Job’sH347 threeH7969 friendsH7453—EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489, BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747, and ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284—heardH8085 about allH3605 thisH2063 adversityH7451 that had comeH935 upon himH5921, each of themH376 cameH935 from his homeH4725, and they metH3259 togetherH3162 to goH935 and sympathizeH5110 with Job and comfort himH5162.

12When they lifted upH5375 their eyesH5869 from afarH7350, they could barelyH3808 recognizeH5234 Job. They began to weepH1058 aloudH5375H6963, and each manH376 toreH7167 his robeH4598 and threwH2236 dustH6083 in the airH8064 overH5921 his headH7218. 13Then they satH3427 on the groundH776 with himH854 for sevenH7651 daysH3117 and sevenH7651 nightsH3915, but noH369 one spokeH1696 a wordH1697 to himH413 becauseH3588 they sawH7200 how intenseH3966 his sufferingH3511 wasH1431.
