Job 2:6-13

6 So the Lord said to Satan, "All right, he is in your power, but you are not to kill him."
7 Then Satan left the Lord's presence and made sores break out all over Job's body.
8 Job went and sat by the garbage dump and took a piece of broken pottery to scrape his sores.
9 His wife said to him, "You are still as faithful as ever, aren't you? Why don't you curse God and die?"
10 Job answered, "You are talking nonsense! When God sends us something good, we welcome it. How can we complain when he sends us trouble?" Even in all this suffering Job said nothing against God.
11 Three of Job's friends were Eliphaz, from the city of Teman, Bildad, from the land of Shuah, and Zophar, from the land of Naamah. When they heard how much Job had been suffering, they decided to go and comfort him.
12 While they were still a long way off they saw Job, but did not recognize him. When they did, they began to weep and wail, tearing their clothes in grief and throwing dust into the air and on their heads.
13 Then they sat there on the ground with him for seven days and nights without saying a word, because they saw how much he was suffering.
