JOB 2 (NIV)

1 On another day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and
Satan also came with them to present himself before him.

2 And the Lord said
to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and
forth on it.”

3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is
no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and
shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me
against him to ruin him without any reason.”

4 “Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has for his own
life.

5 But now stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he
will surely curse you to your face.”

6 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must
spare his life.”

7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with
painful sores from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.

8 Then Job
took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the
ashes.

9 His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God
and die!”

10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good
from God, and not trouble?”
In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.

11 When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and
Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come upon him,
they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and
sympathize with him and comfort him.

12 When they saw him from a distance,
they could hardly recognize him; they began to weep aloud, and they tore their
robes and sprinkled dust on their heads.

13 Then they sat on the ground with
him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him, because they
saw how great his suffering was.
