Again it came to pass on the day{H3117} when the sons{H1121} of God{H430} came{H935} to present{H3320} themselves before Jehovah,{H3068} that Satan{H7854} came{H935} also among{H8432} them to present{H3320} himself before Jehovah.{H3068}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Satan,{H7854} From whence{H335} comest{H935} thou? And Satan{H7854} answered{H6030} Jehovah,{H3068} and said,{H6030} From going to and fro{H7751} in the earth,{H776} and from walking up and down{H1980} in it.

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Satan,{H7854} Hast thou{H7760} considered{H3820} my servant{H5650} Job?{H347} for there is none like him in the earth,{H776} a perfect{H8535} and an upright{H3477} man,{H376} one that feareth{H3373} God,{H430} and turneth{H5493} away from evil:{H7451} and he still holdeth fast{H2388} his integrity,{H8538} although thou movedst{H5496} me against him, to destroy{H1104} him without cause.{H2600}

And Satan{H7854} answered{H6030} Jehovah,{H3068} and said,{H559} Skin{H5785} for skin,{H5785} yea, all that a man{H376} hath will he give{H5414} for his life.{H5315}

But{H199} put forth{H7971} thy hand{H3027} now, and touch{H5060} his bone{H6106} and his flesh,{H1320} and he will renounce{H1288} thee to thy face.{H6440}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Satan,{H7854} Behold, he is in thy hand;{H3027} only spare{H8104} his life.{H5315}

So Satan{H7854} went{H3318} forth{H3318} from the presence{H6440} of Jehovah,{H3068} and smote{H5221} Job{H347} with sore{H7451} boils{H7822} from the sole{H3709} of his foot{H7272} unto his crown.{H6936}

And he took{H3947} him a potsherd{H2789} to scrape{H1623} himself therewith; and he sat{H3427} among{H8432} the ashes.{H665}

Then said{H559} his wife{H802} unto him, Dost thou still hold{H2388} fast thine integrity?{H8538} renounce{H1288} God,{H430} and die.{H4191}

But he said{H559} unto her, Thou speakest{H1696} as one{H259} of the foolish women{H5036} speaketh.{H1696} What?{H1571} shall we receive{H6901} good{H2896} at the hand of God,{H430} and shall we not receive{H6901} evil?{H7451} In all this did not Job{H347} sin{H2398} with his lips.{H8193}

Now when Job's{H347} three{H7969} friends{H7453} heard{H8085} of all this evil{H7451} that was come{H935} upon him, they came{H935} every one{H376} from his own place:{H4725} Eliphaz{H464} the Temanite,{H8489} and Bildad{H1085} the Shuhite,{H7747} and Zophar{H6691} the Naamathite,{H5284} and they made an appointment{H3259} together{H3162} to come{H935} to bemoan{H5110} him and to comfort{H5162} him.

And when they lifted up{H5375} their eyes{H5869} afar off,{H7350} and knew{H5234} him not, they lifted up{H5375} their voice,{H6963} and wept;{H1058} and they rent{H7167} every one{H376} his robe,{H4598} and sprinkled{H2236} dust{H6083} upon their heads{H7218} toward heaven.{H8064}

So they sat down{H3427} with him upon the ground{H776} seven{H7651} days{H3117} and seven{H7651} nights,{H3915} and none spake{H1696} a word{H1697} unto him: for they saw{H7200} that his grief{H3511} was very{H3966} great.{H1431}
