Yahweh asked Satan, “Have you (noticed/thought about) my [faithful] servant Job? He is very godly/righteous [DOU], he greatly respects/reveres me, and he [always] avoids doing evil things. And he still acts in a very godly/righteous manner, even though you persuaded me to [let you] cause disastrous things to happen to him for no reason.”
4 and to answer [the] Satan [obj] LORD and to say skin about/through/for skin and all which to/for man to give: give about/through/for soul: life his

His wife said to him, “Are you still trying to (be loyal to/faithfully trust in) God? You should curse God, and then you will die.”

But Job replied, “You talk like people who do not know God talk. (Should we accept only the good things that God [does for us]?/We should not accept only the good things that God [does for us].) [RHQ] We should also accept bad things.” So in spite of all these [things that happened to] Job, [he] did not say anything against God.
11 and to hear: hear three neighbor Job [obj] all [the] distress: evil [the] this [the] to come (in): come upon him and to come (in): come man: anyone from place his Eliphaz [the] Temanite and Bildad [the] Shuhite and Zophar [the] Naamathite and to appoint together to/for to come (in): come to/for to wander to/for him and to/for to be sorry: comfort him
Among Job’s friends were Eliphaz from Teman [town], Bildad from Shuah [land] and Zophar from Naamah [land]. When they heard about all the terrible things that had happened to Job, they left their home areas and went together to Job to console/comfort him [DOU].
12 and to lift: look [obj] eye: seeing their from distant and not to recognize him and to lift: loud voice their and to weep and to tear man: anyone robe his and to scatter dust upon head their [the] heaven [to]
When they saw Job from a distance, they almost did not recognize him. They wailed loudly, they tore their robes, and they threw dust over their heads [to show how sorry they were because of what had happened to Job].
13 and to dwell with him to/for land: soil seven day and seven night and nothing to speak: speak to(wards) him word for to see: see for to magnify [the] pain much
Then they sat on the ground with Job for seven days. None of them said anything to Job, because they saw that he was suffering greatly, [and they did not think that anything that they said would lessen his pain].
