Job 2:1 Again 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.
Job 2:2 And 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.
Job 2:3 And 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.
Job 2:4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin,
yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
Job .2:5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and
his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Job 2:6 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine
hand; but save his life.
Job 2:7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and
smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
Job 2:8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal;
and he sat down among the ashes.
Job 2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain
thine integrity? curse God, and die.
Job 2:10 But 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.
Job 2:11 Now 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.
Job 2:12 And 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.
Job 2:13 So 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.
