Job
Loses His Health |
|
|
 |
| Job 2:1 |
|
Again there was a day when the sons of God came
to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them to present
himself before the LORD. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 2:2 |
|
The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come
from?" Then Satan answered the LORD and said, "From roaming about on the earth
and walking around on it." |
| |
|
|
| Job 2:3 |
|
The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered
My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright
man fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity,
although you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause." |
| |
|
|
| Job 2:4 |
|
Satan answered the LORD and said, "Skin for
skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. |
| |
|
|
| Job 2:5 |
|
"However, put forth Your hand now, and touch
his bone and his flesh; he will curse You to Your face." |
| |
|
|
| Job 2:6 |
|
So the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, he is in
your power, only spare his life." |
| |
|
|
| Job 2:7 |
|
Then Satan went out from the presence of the
LORD and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his
head. |
|
|
|
| Job 2:8 |
|
And he took a potsherd to scrape himself while
he was sitting among the ashes. |
|
|
|
| Job 2:9 |
|
Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold
fast your integrity? Curse God and die!" |
|
|
|
| Job 2:10 |
|
But he said to her, "You speak as one of the
foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?"
In all this Job did not sin with his lips. |
|
|
|
| Job 2:11 |
|
Now when Job's three friends heard of all this
adversity that had come upon him, they came each one from his own place, Eliphaz
the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment
together to come to sympathize with him and comfort him. |
|
|
|
| Job 2:12 |
|
When they lifted up their eyes at a distance
and did not recognize him, they raised their voices and wept. And each of them
tore his robe and they threw dust over their heads toward the sky. |
|
|
|
| Job 2:13 |
|
Then they sat down on the ground with him for
seven days and seven nights with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that
his pain was very great. |
