Job 2:11-13

Christian Standard Bible

Job’s Three Friends

¹¹ Now when Job’s three friends—Eliphaz the Temanite,^(A) Bildad the Shuhite,^(B) and Zophar the Naamathite—heard about all this adversity that had happened to him, each of them came from his home. They met together to go and sympathize with him and comfort^(C) him. ¹² When they looked from a distance, they could barely recognize him. They wept aloud,^(D) and each man tore his robe and threw dust into the air and on his head.^{(E) 13} Then they sat on the ground with him seven days and nights,^(F) but no one spoke a word to him because they saw that his suffering^(G) was very intense.
