Job 2:7-13 - Job's Blameless Behavior

7 Satan left Jehovah's presence and struck Job with painful boils from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head. 8 Job took a piece of broken pottery to scratch his sores as he sat in the ashes.

9 His wife asked him: Are you still holding on to your principles? Curse God and die!

10 He said to her: You are talking like a godless fool. We accept the good that God gives us. Should we not also accept the bad? Through all this Job did not speak sinful words.

11 Job's three friends heard about all the terrible things that happened to him. Each of them came from his home: Eliphaz of Teman, Bildad of Shuah, and Zophar of Naama. They agreed they would go together to sympathize with Job and comfort him. 12 They saw him from a distance and did not even recognize him. They cried out loud and wept. Each of them tore his clothes in grief. They threw dust on their heads. 13 Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him because they saw that he was in such great pain.
