From whenceººº
comestºº
thou? And

saidºº
untoº
§ä+än
שָׂטָן,º
Hast thouºº
consideredººº
my servantº
´Iyyôv
אִיּוֹב,º
thatº
[there is] noneº
like himº
in the earth,º
a perfectº
and an uprightº
man,º
one that fearethº
´Élöhîm
אֱלֹהִים,º
and eschewethºº
evil?ºº
and stillº
he holdeth fastºº
his integrity,º
although thou movedstºº
me against him, to destroyºº
him without cause.º |

And
§ä+än
שָׂטָןº
answeredººº

a manº
hath will he giveºº
forº
his life.º |

saveººº
his life.º |

untoº
her, Thou speakestºº
as oneº
of the foolish womenº
speaketh.ºº
What?º
shall we receiveººº
goodº
at the handºº
of
´Élöhîm
אֱלֹהִים,º

evil?º
In allº
thisº
did notº
´Iyyôv
אִיּוֹבº
sinºº
with his lips.º |
 2:10

Now when
´Iyyôv's
אִיּוֹבº
threeº
friendsº
heardººº
of allº
thisº
evilº
that was comeºº
uponº
him, they cameºº
every oneº
from his own place;ºº
´Élîfäz
אֱלִיפָזº
the
Têmänî
תֵּימָנִי,º
and
Bildað
בִּלדַּדº
the
Šûçî
שׁוּחִי,º
and
Xôfar
צוֹפַרº
the
Na`ámä±î
נַעֲמָתִי:º
for they had made an appointmentºº
togetherº
to comeºº
to mournºº
with him and to comfortºº
him. |
 2:11 ¶
Now when Iyyov's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Elifaz the Temani, and Bildad the Shuchi, and Tzofar the Naamathi: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. |
 2:12
And when they lifted upººº
their eyesº
afar off,ºº
and knewºº
him not,º
they lifted upºº
their voice,º
and wept;ºº
and they rentºº
every oneº
his mantle,º
and sprinkledºº
dustº
uponº
their headsº
toward heaven.º |
 2:12

So they sat downºº
withº
him upon the groundº
sevenº
daysº
and sevenº
nights,º
and noneº
spakeºº
a wordº
untoº
him: forº
they sawºº
thatº
[his] griefº
was veryº
great.ººº |
 2:13
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that [his] grief was very great. |
