Job 2

Darby Bible

1And there wasH1961 a dayH3117 when the sonsH1121 of 1GodH430 cameH935 to presentH3320 themselves before Jehovah, and Satan alsoH1571 cameH935 among them to presentH3320 himself before Jehovah. 2And Jehovah saidH559 to Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and saidH559, From goingH1980 to and fro in the earthH776, and from walkingH1980 up and down in it. 3And Jehovah saidH559 to Satan, Hast thou considered my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him on the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, oneH376 that feareth 2GodH430 and abstaineth from evilH7451? and stillH5750 he remaineth firmH2388 in his integrityH8538, though thou movedst me against him, to swallowH1104 him up without causeH2600. 4And Satan answered Jehovah and saidH559, SkinH5785 for skinH5785, yea, all that a manH376 hath will he giveH5414 for his lifeH5315; 5but put forthH7971 thy handH3027 now, and touchH5060 his boneH6106 and his fleshH1320, [and see] if he will not curse thee to thy faceH6440! 6And Jehovah saidH559 to Satan, Behold, he is in thy handH3027; onlyH389 spare his lifeH5315. 7And Satan wentH3318 forthH3318 from the presenceH6440 of Jehovah; and he smote JobH347 with a grievous botch from the soleH3709 of his footH7272 unto his crown. 8And he tookH3947 a potsherdH2789 to scrape himself with; and he satH3427 among the ashesH665. 9And his wifeH802 saidH559 to him, Dost thou stillH5750 remain firmH2388 in thine integrityH8538? curse 3GodH430 and dieH4191. 10But he saidH559 to her, Thou speakest as oneH259 of the foolishH5036 women speaketh. We have alsoH1571 received goodH2896 from 4GodH430, and should we not receive evilH7451? In all this JobH347 did not sinH2398 with his lipsH8193. 11And threeH7969 friendsH7453 of JobH347 heardH8085 of all this evilH7451 that was comeH935 upon him. And they cameH935 each oneH376 from his placeH4725: EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489, and BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747, and ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284; and they made an appointmentH3259 togetherH3162 to comeH935 to condole with him and to comfortH5162 him. 12And when they liftedH5375 up their eyesH5869 afarH7350 off, and knew him not, they liftedH5375 up their voiceH6963 and weptH1058. And they rent every oneH376 his mantle, and sprinkledH2236 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218 toward the heavensH8064. 13And they satH3427 downH3427 with him on the groundH776 sevenH7651 daysH3117 and sevenH7651 nightsH3915; and none spokeH1696 a wordH1697 to him; for they sawH7200 that [his] anguish was veryH3966 greatH1431.
