* And it happened that a day came when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD . And Satan also came among them to present himself before the LORD . * And the LORD said to Satan , From where do you come ? And Satan answered the LORD and said , From going to and fro in the earth , and from walking up and down in it . * And the LORD said unto Satan , Have you set your heart on My servant Job , that [there is ] none like him in the earth , a perfect and an upright man , one who fears God and turns away from evil ? And still he is keeping hold of his integrity , although you moved Me against him to destroy him without cause . * And Satan answered the LORD and said , Skin for skin , yea , all that a man has he will give for his life . * But indeed put forth Your hand now , and touch his bone and his flesh , and he will curse You to Your face . * And the LORD said to Satan , Behold , he [is ] in your hand , but save his life . * And Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD and struck Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head . * And he took a broken piece of pottery to scrape himself with . And he sat down among the ashes . * And his wife said to him , Do you still hold to your integrity ? Curse God and die ! * But he said to her , You speak as one of the foolish ones speak . What ? Shall we receive good at the hand of God , and shall we not receive evil ? In all this Job did not sin with his lips . * And Job 's three friends heard [of ] all this evil that had come upon him , and they each one came from his own place : Eliphaz the Temanite , and Bildad the Shuhite , and Zophar the Naamathite . For they had met together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him . * And when they lifted up their eyes afar off , and did not know him , they lifted up their voice and wept . And each one tore his robe , and [they ] sprinkled dust upon their heads toward Heaven . * And they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights . And no one spoke a word to him , for they saw that [his ] grief was very great .
