Book 18 Job Chapter 002

 

002:001Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present
themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to
present himself before the LORD.

 

002:002And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And
Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in
the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

 

002:003And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant
Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and
an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and
still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me
against him, to destroy him without cause.

 

002:004And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all
that a man hath will he give for his life.

 

002:005But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his
flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

 

002:006And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but
save his life.

 

002:007So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote
Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

 

002:008And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he
sat down among the ashes.

 

002:009Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine
integrity? curse God, and die.

 

002:010But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish
women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of
God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job
sin with his lips.

 

002:011Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was
come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz
the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the
Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come
to mourn with him and to comfort him.

 

002:012And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not,
they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one
his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

 

002:013So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven
nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his
grief was very great.
