Job 2:9-13

9Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die!” 10But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. 1Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?” 2In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

11Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, they came each one from his own place, Eliphaz the 3Temanite, Bildad the 4Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to 5sympathize with him and comfort him. 12When they lifted up their eyes at a distance and did not recognize him, they raised their voices and wept. And each of them 6tore his robe and they 7threw dust over their heads toward the sky. 138Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
