'Friends' in the Bible

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

My friends scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,

He who denounces his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me.

All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me.

"Have pity on me, have pity on me, you my friends; for the hand of God has touched me.

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

It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

Yahweh turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.
