Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.

But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

Those who survive him are buried by the plague, and their widows do not mourn for them.

I directed their course and presided as chief.
I lived as a king among his troops,
like one who comforts those who mourn.
