CHAP. II.
1 Satan appearing again before God, obtaineth
further leave to tempt Job: 7 He smiteth
him with sore boils. 9 Job reproveth his wife,
moving him to curse God. 11 His three
friends condole with him in silence.
1 Again there was a day when the
sons of God came to present themselves
before the Lord, and Satan came
also among them to present himself before
the Lord.
2 And the Lord said to Satan, Whence
comest thou? and note Satan answered the
Lord, and said, From going to and fro
on the earth, and from walking up and
down upon it.
3 And the Lord said to Satan, Hast
thou considered my servant Job, that
-- --
Before CHRIST, 1520.
there is none like him on the earth, note a
perfect and an upright man, one that
feareth God, and shunneth evil? and still
he holdeth fast his integrity, although
thou movedst me against him, note to destroy
him without cause.
4 And Satan answered the Lord, and
said, Skin for skin, even, all that a man
hath will he give for his life.
5 But put forth thy hand now, and
touch his bone and his flesh, and he will
curse thee to thy face.
6 And the Lord said to Satan, Behold,
he is in thy hand; note but save his life.
7 ¶2; So Satan went forth from the presence
of the Lord, and smote Job with
sore boils from the sole of his foot to his
crown.
8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape
himself with it; and he sat down among
the ashes.
9 ¶2; Then said his wife to him, Dost
thou still retain thy integrity? note curse
God, and die.
10 But he said to her, Thou speakest
as one of the foolish women speaketh.
What? shall we receive good at the
hand of God, and shall we not receive
evil? In all this did not Job sin with his
lips.
11 ¶2; Now when Job's three friends
heard of all this evil that had 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.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes
afar off, and knew him not, they raised
their voice, and wept; and they rent
every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust
upon their heads towards heaven.
13 So they sat down with him upon
the ground seven days and seven nights,
and none spoke a word to him: for they
saw that his grief was very great.
