Job 2 📜 📕 ↷
Job Loses His Health
1 AND it came to pass when on a certain day the sons of God were come and stood before our Lord, and Satan came among them, and stood in his sight,📜💬📚
2 that our Lord said to Satan: From whence comest thou? Who answering said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through it.📜💬📚
3 And our Lord, said to Satan: Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is not the like to him in the earth, a man simple, and right, and fearing God, and departing from evil, and yet retaining innocency? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict him in vain.📜💬📚
4 To whom Satan answering, said: Skin for skin, and all things that a man hath, he will give for his life:📜💬📚
5 otherwise put thy hand, and touch his bone and flesh, and then shalt thou see that he will bless thee in the face.📜💬📚
6 Our Lord therefore said to Satan: Behold he is in thy hand, but yet save his life.📜💬📚
7 Satan therefore going out from the face of our Lord, struck Job with a very sore boil, from the sole of the foot even to the top of his head:📜💬📚
8 who with a shell scraped the corruption, sitting on a dunghill.📜💬📚
9 And his wife said to him: Doest thou yet continue in thy simplicity? Bless God and die.📜💬📚
10 Who said to her: Thou hast spoken like one of the foolish women: if we have received good things of the hand of God, evil things why should we not receive? In all these things Job sinned not with his lips.📜💬📚
Job's Three Friends
11 Therefore Job's three friends hearing all the evil, that had chanced to him, came every one out of their place, Eliphaz a Themanite, and Baldad a Suhite, and Sophar a Naamathite. For they had appointed, that coming together they would visit him, and comfort him.📜💬📚
12 And when they had lifted up their eyes a far off, they knew him not, and crying out they wept, and renting their cloths sprinkled dust over their head toward heaven.📜💬📚
13 And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no man spake to him a word: for they saw the pain to be vehement.📜💬📚
