2:1 Again
there
was
a
day
when
the
sons
of
God
came
to
present
themselves
before
the
LORD,
and
Satan
also
came
among
them
to
present
himself
before
the
LORD.
2:2 And
the
LORD
said
to
Satan,
"From
where
have
you
come"
Satan
answered
the
LORD
and
said,
"From
going
to
and
fro
on
the
earth,
and
from
walking
up
and
down
on
it."
2:3 And
the
LORD
said
to
Satan,
"Have
you
considered
my
servant
Job,
that
there
is
none
like
him
on
the
earth,
a
blameless
and
upright
man,
who
fears
God
and
turns
away
from
evil
He
still
holds
fast
his
integrity,
although
you
incited
me
against
him
to
destroy
him
without
reason."
2:4 Then
Satan
answered
the
LORD
and
said,
"Skin
for
skin!
All
that
a
man
has
he
will
give
for
his
life.
2:5 But
stretch
out
your
hand
and
touch
his
bone
and
his
flesh,
and
he
will
curse
you
to
your
face."
2:6 And
the
LORD
said
to
Satan,
"Behold,
he
is
in
your
hand;
only
spare
his
life."
2:7 So
Satan
went
out
from
the
presence
of
the
LORD
and
struck
Job
with
loathsome
sores
from
the
sole
of
his
foot
to
the
crown
of
his
head.
2:8 And
he
took
a
piece
of
broken
pottery
with
which
to
scrape
himself
while
he
sat
in
the
ashes.
2:9 Then
his
wife
said
to
him,
"Do
you
still
hold
fast
your
integrity
Curse
God
and
die."
2:10 But
he
said
to
her,
"You
speak
as
one
of
the
foolish
women
would
speak.
Shall
we
receive
good
from
God,
and
shall
we
not
receive
evil"
In
all
this
Job
did
not
sin
with
his
lips.
2:11 Now
when
Job's
three
friends
heard
of
all
this
evil
that
had
come
upon
him,
they
came
each
from
his
own
place,
Eliphaz
the
Temanite,
Bildad
the
Shuhite,
and
Zophar
the
Naamathite.
They
made
an
appointment
together
to
come
to
show
him
sympathy
and
comfort
him.
2:12 And
when
they
saw
him
from
a
distance,
they
did
not
recognize
him.
And
they
raised
their
voices
and
wept,
and
they
tore
their
robes
and
sprinkled
dust
on
their
heads
toward
heaven.
2:13 And
they
sat
with
him
on
the
ground
seven
days
and
seven
nights,
and
no
one
spoke
a
word
to
him,
for
they
saw
that
his
suffering
was
very
great.
