AGAIN there was a day when the sons of Elohiym came to present themselves before Yahuah, and Satan came also among them to present himself before Yahuah.
And Yahuah said unto Satan, From whence come you? And Satan answered Yahuah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
And Yahuah said unto Satan, Have you considered my servant Iyov, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears Elohiym, and eschews evil? and still he holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause.
And Satan answered Yahuah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man has will he give for his life.
But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.
And Yahuah said unto Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; but save his life.
So went Satan forth from the presence of Yahuah, and smote Iyov with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
Then said his woman unto him, Do you still retain your integrity? Bless Elohiym, and die.
But he said unto her, You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. What? shall we receive good at the hand of Elohiym, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Iyov sin with his lips.
Now when Iyov's three friends heard את of all this evil that was come upon him, they came everyone from his own place; Eliyphaz the Teymaniy, and Bildad the Shuchiy, and Tsophar the Na`amathiy: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent everyone his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward the heavens.
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
