The Adversary’s Attack on Job’s Person
2 And then[fn] one day the sons of God[fn] came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan[fn] also came into their midst to present himself before Yahweh.
2 So[fn] Yahwehasked[fn] Satan,[fn] “From where have you come?”And Satan[fn] answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming on the earth and from walking about in it.”
3 So[fn] Yahwehasked[fn] Satan,[fn] “Have youconsidered[fn] my servant Job? Indeed,[fn] there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil. And still he persists in his blamelessnesseven though[fn] you incited me against him to destroy him for nothing.”
4 Then[fn] Satan[fn] answered him and said, “Skin for skin! All thatthat[fn] man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch out[fn] your hand and touch his bones and his flesh,and see whether[fn] he willcurse[fn] you to your face.”[fn]
6 So[fn] Yahweh said to Satan,[fn] “All right,[fn] heis in your power.[fn] Only spare his life.”
Job’s Blameless Behavior
7 So[fn] Satan[fn] went out fromYahweh’s presence,[fn] and he inflicted Job with loathsome skin sores from the sole of his foot up to the crown of his head. 8 So[fn] he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself, and he sat in the midst of the ashes.
9 Then[fn] his wife said to him, “Are you still persisting in your blamelessness?Curse[fn] God and die.”
10 So[fn] he said to her, “You speak like one of the foolish women speaks. Indeed, should we receive the good from God, but[fn] not receive the evil?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Thus[fn] Job’s three friends heard of this calamity that had come upon him. So[fn] each set out from hisown place: Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite. And they met[fn] together to come to console him and to comfort him.
12 Thus[fn] they lifted up their eyes[fn] from afar, but[fn] they did not recognize him, so[fn] they raised their voice, and they wept, and each man tore his outer garment[fn] and threw dust on their headstoward the sky.[fn] 13 Then[fn] they sat with him on the groundfor seven days and seven nights, but[fn] no one spoke[fn] a word to him because they saw thathis[fn] suffering was very great.
