Job 2:10-12
New American Standard Bible
10 But he said to her, “You are speaking as one of the foolish women speaks. (A)Shall we actually accept good from God but not accept adversity?” (B)Despite all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard about all this adversity that had come upon him, they came, each one from his own place—Eliphaz the (C)Temanite, Bildad the (D)Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to (E)sympathize with him and comfort him. 12 When they [a]looked from a distance and did not recognize him, they raised their voices and wept. And each of them (F)tore his robe, and they (G)threw dust over their heads toward the sky.
