JOB 2

JOB LOSES HIS HEALTH

Satan's next test against Job threatens his health and leaves him covered in painful boils. Job is miserable, having now lost everything, including his well-being. Job’s wife blames God and wants Job to curse God for causing his loathsome life, but Job remains faithful.

Job has three friends, Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, who travel to meet him in his time of mourning. For the first seven days, Job’s friends are respectful of Job’s suffering and sit with him in silence.
