2:1 Again there was a day 3117 when the sons 1121 of God 430 came 935 8799 to present 3320 8692 themselves before the LORD 3068, and Satan 7854 came 935 8799 also among 8432 them to present 3320 8692 himself before the LORD 3068.

2:2 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Satan 7854, From whence 335 comest 935 8799 thou? And Satan 7854 answered 6030 8799 the LORD 3068, and said 559 8799, From going to and fro 7751 8800 in the earth 776, and from walking up and down 1980 8692 in it.

2:3 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Satan 7854, Hast thou 7760 8804 considered 3820 my servant 5650 Job 347, that [there is] none like him in the earth 776, a perfect 8535 and an upright 3477 man 376, one that feareth 3373 God 430, and escheweth 5493 8802 evil 7451? and still he holdeth fast 2388 8688 his integrity 8538, although thou movedst 5496 8686 me against him, to destroy 1104 8763 him without cause 2600.(to destroy…: Heb. to swallow him up)

2:4 And Satan 7854 answered 6030 8799 the LORD 3068, and said 559 8799, Skin 5785 for skin 5785, yea, all that a man 376 hath will he give 5414 8799 for his life 5315.

2:5 But 199 put forth 7971 8798 thine hand 3027 now, and touch 5060 8798 his bone 6106 and his flesh 1320, and he will curse 1288 8762 thee to thy face 6440.

2:6 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Satan 7854, Behold, he [is] in thine hand 3027; but save 8104 8798 his life 5315.(but: or, only)

2:7 So went 3318 0 Satan 7854 forth 3318 8799 from the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068, and smote 5221 8686 Job 347 with sore 7451 boils 7822 from the sole 3709 of his foot 7272 unto his crown 6936.

2:8 And he took 3947 8799 him a potsherd 2789 to scrape 1623 8692 himself withal; and he sat down 3427 8802 among 8432 the ashes 665.

2:9 Then said 559 8799 his wife 802 unto him, Dost thou still retain 2388 8688 thine integrity 8538? curse 1288 8761 God 430, and die 4191 8798.

2:10 But he said 559 8799 unto her, Thou speakest 1696 8762 as one 259 of the foolish women 5036 speaketh 1696 8763. What 1571? shall we receive 6901 8762 good 2896 at the hand of God 430, and shall we not receive 6901 8762 evil 7451? In all this did not Job 347 sin 2398 8804 with his lips 8193.

2:11 Now when Job's 347 three 7969 friends 7453 heard 8085 8799 of all this evil 7451 that was come 935 8802 upon him, they came 935 8799 every one 376 from his own place 4725; Eliphaz 464 the Temanite 8489, and Bildad 1085 the Shuhite 7747, and Zophar 6691 the Naamathite 5284: for they had made an appointment 3259 8735 together 3162 to come 935 8800 to mourn 5110 8800 with him and to comfort 5162 8763 him.

2:12 And when they lifted up 5375 8799 their eyes 5869 afar off 7350, and knew 5234 8689 him not, they lifted up 5375 8799 their voice 6963, and wept 1058 8799; and they rent 7167 8799 every one 376 his mantle 4598, and sprinkled 2236 8799 dust 6083 upon their heads 7218 toward heaven 8064.

2:13 So they sat down 3427 8799 with him upon the ground 776 seven 7651 days 3117 and seven 7651 nights 3915, and none spake 1696 8802 a word 1697 unto him: for they saw 7200 8804 that [his] grief 3511 was very 3966 great 1431 8804.
