Job 2:1-13

Again there was a day
<03117>
when the sons
<01121>
of God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8799)
to present
<03320> (8692)
themselves before the LORD
<03068>_,
and Satan
<07854>
came
<0935> (8799)
also among
<08432>
them to present
<03320> (8692)
himself before the LORD
<03068>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Satan
<07854>_,
From whence
<0335>
comest
<0935> (8799)
thou? And Satan
<07854>
answered
<06030> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
From going to and fro
<07751> (8800)
in the earth
<0776>_,
and from walking up and down
<01980> (8692)
in it.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Satan
<07854>_,
Hast thou
<07760> (8804)
considered
<03820>
my servant
<05650>
Job
<0347>_,
that [there is] none like him in the earth
<0776>_,
a perfect
<08535>
and an upright
<03477>
man
<0376>_,
one that feareth
<03373>
God
<0430>_,
and escheweth
<05493> (8802)
evil
<07451>_?
and still he holdeth fast
<02388> (8688)
his integrity
<08538>_,
although thou movedst
<05496> (8686)
me against him, to destroy
<01104> (8763)
him without cause
<02600>_.
{to destroy...: Heb. to swallow him up}
And Satan
<07854>
answered
<06030> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Skin
<05785>
for skin
<05785>_,
yea, all that a man
<0376>
hath will he give
<05414> (8799)
for his life
<05315>_.
But
<0199>
put forth
<07971> (8798)
thine hand
<03027>
now, and touch
<05060> (8798)
his bone
<06106>
and his flesh
<01320>_,
and he will curse
<01288> (8762)
thee to thy face
<06440>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Satan
<07854>_,
Behold, he [is] in thine hand
<03027>_;
but save
<08104> (8798)
his life
<05315>_.
{but: or, only}
So went
<03318> (0)
Satan
<07854>
forth
<03318> (8799)
from the presence
<06440>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
Job
<0347>
with sore
<07451>
boils
<07822>
from the sole
<03709>
of his foot
<07272>
unto his crown
<06936>_.
And he took
<03947> (8799)
him a potsherd
<02789>
to scrape
<01623> (8692)
himself withal; and he sat down
<03427> (8802)
among
<08432>
the ashes
<0665>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
his wife
<0802>
unto him, Dost thou still retain
<02388> (8688)
thine integrity
<08538>_?
curse
<01288> (8761)
God
<0430>_,
and die
<04191> (8798)_.
But he said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Thou speakest
<01696> (8762)
as one
<0259>
of the foolish women
<05036>
speaketh
<01696> (8763)_.
What
<01571>_?
shall we receive
<06901> (8762)
good
<02896>
at the hand of God
<0430>_,
and shall we not receive
<06901> (8762)
evil
<07451>_?
In all this did not Job
<0347>
sin
<02398> (8804)
with his lips
<08193>_.
Now when Job's
<0347>
three
<07969>
friends
<07453>
heard
<08085> (8799)
of all this evil
<07451>
that was come
<0935> (8802)
upon him, they came
<0935> (8799)
every one
<0376>
from his own place
<04725>_;
Eliphaz
<0464>
the Temanite
<08489>_,
and Bildad
<01085>
the Shuhite
<07747>_,
and Zophar
<06691>
the Naamathite
<05284>_:
for they had made an appointment
<03259> (8735)
together
<03162>
to come
<0935> (8800)
to mourn
<05110> (8800)
with him and to comfort
<05162> (8763)
him.
And when they lifted up
<05375> (8799)
their eyes
<05869>
afar off
<07350>_,
and knew
<05234> (8689)
him not, they lifted up
<05375> (8799)
their voice
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_;
and they rent
<07167> (8799)
every one
<0376>
his mantle
<04598>_,
and sprinkled
<02236> (8799)
dust
<06083>
upon their heads
<07218>
toward heaven
<08064>_.
So they sat down
<03427> (8799)
with him upon the ground
<0776>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>
and seven
<07651>
nights
<03915>_,
and none spake
<01696> (8802)
a word
<01697>
unto him: for they saw
<07200> (8804)
that [his] grief
<03511>
was very
<03966>
great
<01431> (8804)_.
