'Friends' in the Bible

And three friends of Job heard of all this evil that was come upon him. And they came each one from his place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.

My friends are my mockers; mine eye poureth out tears unto +God.

He that betrayeth friends for a prey even the eyes of his children shall fail.

My kinsfolk have failed, and my known friends have forgotten me.

All my intimate friends abhor me, and they whom I loved are turned against me.

Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, ye my friends; for the hand of +God hath touched me.

and against his three friends was his anger kindled, because they found no answer, and yet condemned Job.

And it came to pass after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, that Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken rightly of me, like my servant Job.

And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he had prayed for his friends; and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.
