Job 2:10
the foolish women—Sin and folly are allied in Scripture (I Samuel 25:25; II Samuel 13:13; Psalms 14:1).
receive evil—bear willingly (Lamentations 3:39).
8 And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself awhile he sat in the midst of the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity?1 Curse God and die!”
10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. aShall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” bIn all this Job did not csin with his lips.
Job’s Three Friends
11 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 aTemanite, Bildad the bShuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come cand mourn with him, and to comfort him.
12 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 asprinkled dust on his head toward heaven.
