7. So Satan left the lord’s presence, and he struck Job with terrible boils from head to foot.
8. Job scraped his skin with a piece of broken pottery as he sat among the ashes.
9. His wife said to him, “Are you still trying to maintain your integrity? Curse God and die.”
10. But Job replied, “You talk like a foolish woman. Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?” So in all this, Job said nothing wrong.
11. When three of Job’s friends heard of the tragedy he had suffered, they got together and traveled from their homes to comfort and console him. Their names were Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite.
