Job 1.6
One day the heavenly beings#2.1 Heb sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and the accuser#2.1 Heb the satan also came among them to present himself before the Lord. 2#Job 1.7The Lord said to the accuser,#2.2 Heb the satan “Where have you come from?” The accuser#2.2 Heb The satan answered the Lord, “From going to and fro on the earth and from walking up and down on it.” 3#Job 1.1, 8; 9.17; 27.5, 6The Lord said to the accuser,#2.3 Heb the satan “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man who fears God and turns away from evil. He still persists in his integrity, although you incited me against him, to destroy him for no reason.” 4Then the accuser#2.4 Heb the satan answered the Lord, “Skin for skin! All that the man has he will give for his life. 5#Job 1.11But stretch out your hand now and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.” 6#Job 1.12The Lord said to the accuser,#2.6 Heb the satan “Very well, he is in your power; only spare his life.”

Gen 25.2; 1 Chr 1.45; Job 42.11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all these troubles that had come upon him, each of them set out from his home—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They met together to go and console and comfort him. 12#Josh 7.6; Lam 2.10; Ezek 27.30When they saw him from a distance, they did not recognize him, and they raised their voices and wept aloud; they tore their robes and threw dust in the air upon their heads. 13#Gen 50.10; Ezek 3.15They sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.
