Friends

A despairing man should receive loyalty from his friends,

even if he abandons the fear of the Almighty.

My friends scoff at me
as I weep before God.

All of my best friends despise me,
and those I love have turned against me.

After the Lord had finished speaking to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken the truth about Me, as My servant Job has.

A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a difficult time.

A man with many friends may be harmed,
but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother.

>

Don’t abandon your friend or your father’s friend,
and don’t go to your brother’s house
in your time of calamity;
better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.

Temanite

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

Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:

The sons of Eliphaz were
Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.

About Edom, this is what the Lord of Hosts says:

Is there no longer wisdom in Teman?
Has counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom rotted away?

Shuhite

Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

The sons born to Keturah, Abraham’s concubine: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Jokshan’s sons: Sheba and Dedan.

To come

All his brothers, sisters, and former acquaintances came to his house and dined with him in his house. They sympathized with him and comforted him concerning all the adversity the Lord had brought on him. Each one gave him a qesitah

and a gold earring.

All his sons and daughters tried to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. “No,” he said. “I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” And his father wept for him.

These two things have happened to you:
devastation and destruction,
famine and sword.
Who will grieve for you?
How can I comfort you?

Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother.

Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

So if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

Remember the prisoners, as though you were in prison with them, and the mistreated, as though you yourselves were suffering bodily.
