Friends

"To the one in despair, kindness should come from his friend even if he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God;

All my closest friends detest me; and those whom I love have turned against me.

After the Lord had spoken these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My anger is stirred up against you and your two friends, because you have not spoken about me what is right, as my servant Job has.

A friend loves at all times, and a relative is born to help in adversity.

A person who has friends may be harmed by them, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Do not forsake your friend and your father's friend, and do not enter your brother's house in the day of your disaster; a neighbor nearby is better than a brother far away.

Temanite

The caravans of Tema looked intently for these streams; the traveling merchants of Sheba hoped for them.

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:

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

The Lord who rules over all spoke about Edom. "Is wisdom no longer to be found in Teman? Can Edom's counselors not give her any good advice? Has all of their wisdom turned bad?

Shuhite

Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said:

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:

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

The sons to whom Keturah, Abraham's concubine, gave birth: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, Shuah. The sons of Jokshan: Sheba and Dedan.

To come

So they came to him, all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they dined with him in his house. They comforted him and consoled him for all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.

All his sons and daughters stood by him to console him, but he refused to be consoled. "No," he said, "I will go to the grave mourning my son." So Joseph's father wept for him.

These double disasters confronted you. But who feels sorry for you? Destruction and devastation, famine and sword. But who consoles you?

so many of the Jewish people of the region had come to Martha and Mary to console them over the loss of their brother.)

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.

If one member suffers, everyone suffers with it. If a member is honored, all rejoice with it.

Remember those in prison as though you were in prison with them, and those ill-treated as though you too felt their torment.
