His sons regularly went to one another's houses, and every one on his day gave a feast: and at these times they sent for their three sisters to take part in their feasts with them.

In all these things did Job not offend, nor murmured foolishly against God.

But Job said unto her, "Thou speakest like a foolish woman. Seeing we have received prosperity at the hand of God, wherefore should we not be content with adversity also?" In all these things, did not Job sin with his lips.

When Job's three friends heard all these tragedies that happened to him, they each traveled from their home towns to visit him. Eliphaz came from Teman, Bildad came from Shuah, and Zophar came from Naamath. They met together and went to console and comfort him.

because it shut not up the womb that bare me. For then should these sorrows have been hid from mine eyes.

With kings and counsellors of earth, These building wastes for themselves.

“My soul refuses to touch them;
Such things are like loathsome food to me [sickening and repugnant].

The caravans of Tema look for these streams.
The traveling merchants of Sheba hope for them.

For now you have become like these streams that are no help; you see a terror, and are afraid.

So that my soul chooseth strangling, And death rather than these my bones.

How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?

And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.

Are all these words to go unanswered? and is a man seen to be right because he is full of talk?

These things are higher than the heavens, so what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol, so what can you know?

But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?

"Only you must not do [these] two [things] to me; then I will not hide from your face:

“Let him not trust in vanity (emptiness, futility) and be led astray;
For emptiness will be his reward [for such living].

"I have heard many [things] like these; all of you [are] {miserable comforters}.

“These [thoughts try to] make the night into the day;
‘The light is near,’ they say in the presence of darkness [but they pervert the truth].

Only these are tabernacles of the perverse, And this the place God hath not known.

These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.

All {my intimate friends} abhor me, and these [whom] I have loved have turned against me.

Yea, I myself shall behold him - not with other, but with these same eyes, though my reins are consumed within me.

“If you say, ‘How shall we [continue to] persecute him?’
And ‘What pretext for a case against him can we find [since we claim the root of these afflictions is found in him]?’

For he will carry out {what he appoints for me}, and many [things] like these [are] with him

But I am not silenced by the darkness [of these woes that fell on me],
Nor by the thick darkness which covers my face.

These go naked without clothing, and, hungry, they bear the sheaf;

They make oil within the walls of these men; They tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.

These are of them that rebel against the light; They know not the ways thereof, Nor abide in the paths thereof.

“To whom have you uttered [these] words?
And whose spirit [inspired what] came forth from you?

Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

"As soon as the ear heard these things, it blessed me, and when the eye saw them, it bore witness to me,

For disaster from God terrifies me,
and because of His majesty I could not do these things.

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.

I will not put forward words like these, or make use of your sayings in answer to him.

Surely you have spoken in my hearing,
and I have heard these very words:

"Behold, unto these unreasonable words of thine will I make answer. Should God be reproved of man?

"He'll sing to mankind with these words: "I've sinned. I have twisted what is right. Yet he has not repaid me like I deserve.

Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

For by these he judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.

Art thou of counsel with God, when he doth these things? When he causeth the light to come forth of his clouds?

For who can keep his own counsel so secret, but it shall be known? Therefore have I spoken unwisely, seeing these things are so high, and pass mine understanding.

And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
