Job's Blameless Behavior

8 And he took a broken bit of a pot, and, seated in the dust, was rubbing himself with the sharp edge of it. 9 And his wife said to him, Are you still keeping your righteousness? Say a curse against God, and put an end to yourself. 10 And he said to her, You are talking like one of the foolish women. If we take the good God sends us, are we not to take the evil when it comes? In all this Job kept his lips from sin.
