Job 2

1Again there was a dayH3117 when the sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935 to presentH3320 themselves before the LORDH3068, and SatanH7854 cameH935 also amongH8432 them to presentH3320 himself before the LORDH3068. 2And1 the LORDH3068 saidH559 to SatanH7854, From whereH335 comestH935 thou? And SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, From going to and froH7751 on the earthH776, and from walking up and downH1980 upon it. 3And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to SatanH7854, Hast thouH7760 consideredH3820 my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him on the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, one that fearethH3373 GodH430, and turneth away fromH5493 evilH7451? and still he holdeth fastH2388 his integrityH8538, although thou didst moveH5496 me against him, to destroyH1104 him without causeH2600.2 4And SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, SkinH5785 for skinH5785, even, all that a manH376 hath will he giveH5414 for his lifeH5315. 5ButH199 put forthH7971 thy handH3027 now, and touchH5060 his boneH6106 and his fleshH1320, and he will curseH1288 thee to thy faceH6440. 6And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to SatanH7854, Behold, he is in thy handH3027; but saveH8104 his lifeH5315.3

7So SatanH7854 went forthH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, and smoteH5221 JobH347 with severeH7451 boilsH7822 from the soleH3709 of his footH7272 to his crownH6936. 8And he tookH3947 a potsherdH2789 to scrapeH1623 himself with; and he sat downH3427 amongH8432 the ashesH665. 9Then saidH559 his wifeH802 to him, Dost thou still retainH2388 thy integrityH8538? curseH1288 GodH430, and dieH4191. 10But he saidH559 to her, Thou speakestH1696 as oneH259 of the foolish womenH5036 speakethH1696. WhatH1571? shall we receiveH6901 goodH2896 at the hand of GodH430, and shall we not receiveH6901 evilH7451? In all this did not JobH347 sinH2398 with his lipsH8193.

11Now when Job’sH347 threeH7969 friendsH7453 heardH8085 of all this evilH7451 that had comeH935 upon him, they cameH935 every oneH376 from his own placeH4725; EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489, and BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747, and ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284: for they had made an appointmentH3259 togetherH3162 to comeH935 to mournH5110 with him and to comfortH5162 him. 12And when they lifted upH5375 their eyesH5869 afar offH7350, and knewH5234 him not, they raisedH5375 their voiceH6963, and weptH1058; and they toreH7167 every oneH376 his mantleH4598, and sprinkledH2236 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218 toward heavenH8064. 13So they sat downH3427 with him upon the groundH776 sevenH7651 daysH3117 and sevenH7651 nightsH3915, and none spokeH1696 a wordH1697 to him: for they sawH7200 that his griefH3511 was veryH3966 greatH1431.
