Job 2:11-13

11Now when Job’s three friends heard about all this adversity that had come upon him, they came, each one from his own place--Eliphaz the 1Temanite, Bildad the 2Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to 3sympathize with him and comfort him.

12When they 4looked from a distance and did not recognize him, they raised their voices and wept. And each of them 5tore his robe, and they 6threw dust over their heads toward the sky.

137Then 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.
