Job’s Troubles
Then Job’s wife, seeing the distress of her husband, said unto Job, “Do you still hold to your integrity in God, Why do you not curse him and die?” But Job responded and told her “You speak as one of the foolish women. Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil also?” And Job continued to hold to his righteousness and refrain from sin. Soon Job’s three friends heard of Job’s troubles, and they came from their places each of them, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; for they had consulted with each other and agreed that the three of them should visit Job at the same time, and to comfort him. And while they were some distance away, they saw Job, but did not recognize him, because of the state he was in; and they were so overcome that they wept and tore their mantle and sprinkled dust upon their heads So they went and sat with Job upon the ground seven days and seven nights; and during that time, no one spoke because they saw the grief that Job was suffering.
