Berean Standard Bible
And
the
day is,
that
sons of God come
in
to station
themselves by
Jehovah
, and there
doth
come
also the
Adversary
in
their
midst
to station
himself by
Jehovah
.
On
another
day the
sons of God came
to present
themselves before
the
LORD
, and Satan
also came
with
them
to present
himself before
Him
.
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
the
Adversary,
`Whence
camest
thou
? '
And
the Adversary
answereth
Jehovah
and
saith,
`From
going
to and
fro
in
the land
, and from
walking up
and down
in it. '
“Where
have
you
come
from
? ”
said
the LORD
to Satan.
“From
roaming
through
the earth
, ”
he
replied,
“
and walking back
and forth
in it. ”
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
the Adversary
, `Hast
thou
set
thy
heart
unto
My servant Job because
there is none
like him in
the
land
, a man perfect
and upright, fearing
God and turning
aside
from
evil ?
and
still
he is
keeping
hold
on
his integrity, and
thou
dost
move
Me against him to swallow
him up
for
nought!'
Then
the LORD
said
to
Satan
, “Have
you
considered
My servant Job ?
For
there is no
one
on
earth
like him, a man who
is
blameless
and upright, who
fears
God and shuns
evil .
He still
retains
his integrity, even
though
you
incited
Me against him to ruin
him without
cause.”
And
the
Adversary
answereth
Jehovah
and
saith,
`A
skin for a
skin ,
and
all
that
a man hath
he
doth
give for his life.
“
Skin for skin !”
Satan
replied.
“
A man will
give up
all
he
owns
in
exchange
for his life.
Yet,
put
forth,
I
pray
Thee,
Thy
hand ,
and strike unto
his bone
and
unto
his
flesh --
if
not:
unto
Thy
face
he doth
bless
Thee!'
But
stretch
out
Your
hand and strike his flesh and
bones,
and
he will
surely
curse
You
to
Your
face.”
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
the
Adversary,
`Lo
, he `
is '
in thy
hand;
only
his life take
care
of
. '
“Very
well
, ”
said
the
LORD
to
Satan.
“
He is in your
hands,
but
you
must
spare
his life. ”
And
the
Adversary
goeth
forth
from the presence of Jehovah,
and smiteth
Job with a
sore
ulcer
from the sole
of his foot
unto
his
crown.
So
Satan
went
out
from the presence of the
LORD
and infected
Job with terrible
boils
from the soles
of his feet
to
the
crown of
his
head
.
And he
taketh
to
him
a potsherd
to scrape himself with
it,
and
he is
sitting
in
the
midst
of
the ashes.
And Job
took
a piece
of
broken
pottery
to scrape himself as
he sat
among
the ashes.
And
his
wife saith
to him, `
Still thou
art
keeping
hold
on
thine
integrity :
bless
God and die .'
Then
Job’s
wife said
to him, “Do
you
still retain
your
integrity ?
Curse
God and die !”
And
he
saith
unto
her,
`
As one
of
the
foolish women
speaketh,
thou
speakest;
yea
, the
good
we receive
from God ,
and the
evil
we
do
not receive.'
In all this Job hath
not sinned
with
his
lips
.
“You
speak
as a
foolish woman
speaks
, ”
he
told
her.
“Should
we accept
from God only
good
and not adversity?”
In all this ,
Job did
not sin
in
what
he
said
.
And
three of
the
friends of
Job
hear
of
all
this
evil
that
hath
come
upon
him,
and
they
come
in
each
from
his
place
--
Eliphaz the Temanite, and
Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite --
and they are
met together to come
in
to
bemoan
him,
and to
comfort him ;
Now
when
Job’s
three friends —
Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite —heard
about
all
this
adversity
that
had
come
upon
him,
each
of
them
came
from
his
home,
and they met together to go
and sympathize
with
Job
and
comfort him .
and
they lift
up their eyes from afar and
have
not
discerned
him
, and
they lift
up
their
voice
and
weep, and rend
each his robe ,
and sprinkle
dust on
their
heads
--
heavenward
.
When
they lifted
up their eyes from afar, they could
barely
recognize
Job.
They
began
to
weep aloud
, and each man
tore
his robe and threw
dust in
the
air
over
his
head
.
And
they sit
with
him
on the earth
seven days and seven nights, and
there
is
none
speaking
unto
him
a word when
they have
seen
that
the
pain
hath
been
very
great
.
Then
they sat
on the ground
with
him
for
seven days and seven nights, but
no
one
spoke
a word to
him
because
they saw
how
intense
his
suffering
was
.
