The .ii. Chapter.
6 Satan hath permission to afflict Iob, 9 His wyfe tempteth him to forsake God.
11 His three friendes visite hym.
A
1 And on a day the note
children of God came
and stoode before the
Lorde, and Satan
came also among th&ebar;,
and stoode before the
Lorde.
2 And the Lorde sayde vnto Satan:
From whence commest thou? Satan
aunswered the Lorde, and sayd: I haue
gone about the lande, walked thorow
it.
3 And the Lorde sayde vnto Satan:
Hast thou not considered my seruaunt
Iob? howe there is none like vnto hym
in the earth, a perfect and a iust man?
one that feareth God, and eschueth euil,
∧ continueth still in his vprightnesse, although
thou mouedst me against hym,
to note destroy him without cause.
4 And Satan aunswered the Lord, and
sayd, note Skinne for skinne, yea a man
wil geue al that euer he hath for his life.
5 But lay thyne hande nowe vpon hym,
and touch [once] his bone and his fleshe,
and he shall curse thee to thy face.
6 And the Lord sayde vnto Satan: Lo,
he is in thyne hand, but note saue his lyfe.
7 So went Satan foorth from the presence
of the Lorde, and smote Iob with
sore byles, from the sole of his foote vnto
his crowne.
8 And he toke a potsharde to scrape hym:
and he sat downe among the asshes.
9 Then sayd his wyfe vnto him: note Doest
thou continue yet in thy perfectnesse?
curse God, and dye.
10 But he sayde vnto her, Thou speakest
like a foolish woman: shal we note receaue
good at the hande of God, and not receaue
euyll? In all these thinges did not
Iob sinne with his lippes.
11 Nowe note when Iobs three friendes
heard of all the trouble that came vpon
him, they came euery one fr&obar; his owne
place [namely] Eliphas the Themanite,
Bildad the Suhite, and Zophad the
Naamathite: for they were agreed together
to come to shewe their compassion
vpon him, and to comfort hym.
-- --
12 So when they lift vp their eyes a farre
of, they knew him not: then they cryed
and wept, and euery one of them rent
his clothes, and sprinckled note dust vpon
their heades note in the ayre.
13 They sate them downe by him also
vpon the grounde seuen dayes ∧ seuen
nightes, and none spake a worde vnto
him: for they sawe that his greefe was
very great.
