Job 2:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 Thus[a] Job’s three friends heard of this calamity that had come upon him. So[b] each set out from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite. And they met[c] together to come to console him and to comfort him.
12 Thus[d] they lifted up their eyes[e] from afar, but[f] they did not recognize him, so[g] they raised their voice, and they wept, and each man tore his outer garment[h] and threw dust on their heads toward the sky.[i] 13 Then[j] they sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, but[k] no one spoke[l] a word to him because they saw that his[m] suffering was very great.
