1And then one day the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan also came into their midst to present himself before Yahweh.[#Literally “And it came to be,” or “and it happened”; #Or “the heavenly beings,” or “the angels”; #Hebrew “the accuser,” or “the adversary”]
2So Yahweh asked Satan, “From where have you come?”[#Hebrew “And”; #Literally “said to”; #Hebrew “the accuser,” or “the adversary”]
And Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming on the earth and from walking about in it.”
3So Yahweh asked Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? Indeed, there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil. And still he persists in his blamelessness even though you incited me against him to destroy him for nothing.”[#Hebrew “And”; #Literally “said to”; #Hebrew “the accuser,” or “the adversary”; #Literally “set your heart”; #Or “For” or “Because”; #Hebrew “and”]
4Then Satan answered him and said, “Skin for skin! All that that man has he will give for his life.[#Hebrew “And”; #Hebrew “the accuser,” or “the adversary”; #Literally “the”]

10So he said to her, “You speak like one of the foolish women speaks. Indeed, should we receive the good from God, but not receive the evil?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.[#Hebrew “And”; #Or “and”]
11Thus Job’s three friends heard of this calamity that had come upon him. So each set out from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite. And they met together to come to console him and to comfort him.[#Hebrew “And”; #Hebrew “And”; #Or “they agreed”]
12Thus they lifted up their eyes from afar, but they did not recognize him, so they raised their voice, and they wept, and each man tore his outer garment and threw dust on their heads toward the sky.[#Hebrew “And”; #Or “they gazed”; #Hebrew “and”; #Hebrew “and”; #Or “robe”; #Or “in the air”; literally “to the heavens”]
13Then they sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, but no one spoke a word to him because they saw that his suffering was very great.[#Hebrew “And”; #Hebrew “and”; #Or “there was no speaking”; #Literally “the”]
