Job 2

1 Satan appearing again before God obtaineth further leave to tempt Job. 7 He smiteth him with sore boils. 9 Job reproveth his wife, moving him to curse God. 11 His three friends condole with him in silence.

 2:1 Again there was a day 3117 when the sons 1121 of God 430 came 935 to present 3320 themselves before 5921 the LORD 3068, and Satan 7854 also 1571 came 935 among 8432 them to present 3320 himself before 5921 the LORD 3068.

 2:2 The LORD 3068 said 559 to Satan 7854, “Where 335 have you come 935 from?” Then Satan 7854 answered 6030a the LORD 3068 and said 559, “From roaming 7751a about 7751a on the earth 776 and walking 1980 around 1980 on it.”

 2:3 The LORD 3068 said 559 to Satan 7854, “Have you considered 7760 3820 5921 My servant 5650 Job 347? For there 369 is no 369 one 369 like 3644 him on the earth 776, a blameless 8535 and upright 3477 man 376 fearing 3372a God 430 and turning 5493 away 5493 from evil 7451b. And he still 5750 holds 2388 fast 2388 his integrity 8538, although you incited 5496 Me against him to ruin 1104 him without 2600 cause 2600.”

 2:4 Satan 7854 answered 6030a the LORD 3068 and said 559, “Skin 5785 for skin 5785! Yes, all 3605 that a man 376 has he will give 5414 for his life 5315.

 2:5 “However 199, put 7971 forth 7971 Your hand 3027 now 4994, and touch 5060 his bone 6106 and his flesh 1320; he will curse 1288 You to Your face 6440.”

 2:6 So the LORD 3068 said 559 to Satan 7854, “Behold 2009, he is in your power 3027, only 389 spare 8104 his life 5315.”

 2:7 ¶ Then Satan 7854 went 3318 out from the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068 and smote 5221 Job 347 with sore 7451a boils 7822 from the sole 3709 of his foot 7272 to the crown 6936 of his head 6936.

 2:8 And he took 3947 a potsherd 2789 to scrape 1623 himself while he was sitting 3427 among 8432 the ashes 665.

 2:9 ¶ Then his wife 802 said 559 to him, “Do you still 5750 hold 2388 fast 2388 your integrity 8538? Curse 1288 God 430 and die 4191!”

 2:10 But he said 559 to her, “You speak 1696 as one 259 of the foolish 5036 women 5036 speaks 1696. Shall we indeed 1571 accept 6901 good 2896b from God 430 and not accept 6901 adversity 7451b?” In all 3605 this 384 Job 347 did not sin 2398 with his lips 8193.

 2:11 ¶ Now when Job’s 347 three 7969 friends 7453 heard 8085 of all 3605 this 384 adversity 7463a that had come 935 upon him, they came 935 each 376 one 376 from his own place 4725, Eliphaz 464 the Temanite 8489, Bildad 1085 the Shuhite 7747 and Zophar 6691 the Naamathite 5284; and they made 3259 an appointment 3259 together 3164a to come 935 to sympathize 5110 with him and comfort 5162 him.

 2:12 When they lifted 5375 up their eyes 5869 at a distance 7350 and did not recognize 5234 him, they raised 5375 their voices 6963 and wept 1058. And each 376 of them tore 7167 his robe 4598 and they threw 2236b dust 6083 over 5921 their heads 7218 toward the sky 8064.

 2:13 Then they sat 3427 down 3427 on the ground 776 with him for seven 7651 days 3117 and seven 7651 nights 3915 with no 369 one 369 speaking 1696 a word 1697 to him, for they saw 7200 that [his] pain 3511 was very 3966 great 1431.
