- Again
there was a day when the sons
of
God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also
among them to present himself before the Lord. (Job 1:6-8)
- And
the Lord said to Satan, "From
where do you come?" So Satan answered the Lord and said, "From
going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on
it." (Job 1:7)
- Then
the Lord said
to Satan, "Have
you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the
earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns
evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you
incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause." (Job 9:17; Job
27:5-6)
- So
Satan answered
the Lord and
said, "Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for
his life.
- "But stretch out
Your hand now, and
touch his bone and his flesh, and he will surely curse You to Your
face!" (Job 1:11; Job 19:20)
- So the Lord said to
Satan, "Behold,
he is in your hand , but spare his life." (Job 1:12)
- Then Satan went out
from the
presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole
of his foot to the crown of his head. (Is. 1:6)
- And he took for him
a potsherd with
which to scrape himself while he sat in the midst of the ashes. (Ezek. 27:30)
- Then his wife said
to him, "Do you
still hold to your integrity? Curse God and die!" (Job 1:5)
- But he said to her,
"You speak as
one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from
God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not
sin with his lips. (Job 1:22; Ps. 39:9) ( PASS
ON TO A FRIEND)
- Now when Job's
three friends heard
of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his
own place - - Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the
Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come and
morn with him, and to comfort him (Gen. 25:2; Rom. 12:15)
- And when they
raised their eyes
from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and
wept; and each one tore his robe and sprinkled dust on his head toward
heaven. (Neh. 9:1)
- So they sat down
with him on the
ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for
they saw that his grief was very great. (Gen. 50:10)
