Job 2

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.

2 And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.

3 And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil? and he still keeps his righteousness, though you have been moving me to send destruction on him without cause.

4 And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Skin for skin, all a man has he will give for his life.

5 But now, if you only put your hand on his bone and his flesh, he will certainly be cursing you to your face.

6 And the Lord said to the Satan, See, he is in your hands, only do not take his life.

7 And the Satan went out from before the Lord, and sent on Job an evil disease covering his skin from his feet to the top of his head.

8 And he took a broken bit of a pot, and, seated in the dust, was rubbing himself with the sharp edge of it.

9 And his wife said to him, Are you still keeping your righteousness? Say a curse against God, and put an end to yourself.

10 And he said to her, You are talking like one of the foolish women. If we take the good God sends us, are we not to take the evil when it comes? In all this Job kept his lips from sin.

11 And Job's three friends had word of all this evil which had come on him. And they came every one from his place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. So they came together to a meeting-place, in order that they might go and make clear to Job their grief for him, and give him comfort.

12 And lifting up their eyes when they were still far off, it did not seem that the man they saw was Job because of the change in him. And they gave way to bitter weeping, with signs of grief, and put dust on their heads.

13 And they took their seats on the earth by his side for seven days and seven nights: but no one said a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 Again there was a day when the Bnei HaElohim came to present themselves before Hashem, and Hasatan came also among them to present himself before Hashem.

2 And Hashem said unto Hasatan, From where comest thou? And Hasatan answered Hashem, and said, From going to and fro through ha’aretz, and from walking up and down in it.

3 And Hashem said unto Hasatan, Hast thou considered in your meditation Avdi (My Servant) Iyov, that there is none like him in ha’aretz, ish tam and yashar, yire Elohim, and shunning rah? And still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou inciteth Me against him, to ruin him for no reason.

4 And Hasatan answered Hashem, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that an ish hath will he give for his nefesh.

5 But stretch forth Thine yad now, and touch his etzem and his basar, and he will curse Thee to Thy face.

6 And Hashem said unto Hasatan, Hinei, he is in thine yad; but spare his nefesh.

7 So went Hasatan out from the presence of Hashem, and afflicted Iyov with shekhin rah (foul boils) from the sole of his regel unto the top of his head.

8 And he took him a cheres (potsherd, piece of broken pottery) to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.

9 Then said his isha unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Curse Elohim, and die.

10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the nevalot (foolish women) speaketh. What? Shall we receive hatov from Elohim, and shall we not accept harah? In all this did not Iyov sin in what he said.

11 Now when the three friends of Iyov heard of all this ra’ah that had come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temani, and Bildad the Shuchi, and Tzophar the Na’amati; for they had made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him.

12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and recognized him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they made the keri’ah every one on his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward Shomayim.

13 So they sat [shiva] with him upon the ground shivat yamim and shivat lailah, and none spoke a word unto him; for they saw that his suffering was very great.
