Job 2:9-11
Lexham English Bible
9 Then[a] his wife said to him, “Are you still persisting in your blamelessness? Curse[b] God and die.”
10 So[c] he said to her, “You speak like one of the foolish women speaks. Indeed, should we receive the good from God, but[d] not receive the evil?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Thus[e] Job’s three friends heard of this calamity that had come upon him. So[f] each set out from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite. And they met[g] together to come to console him and to comfort him.
