LEB(i)
1 ⌊And then⌋* one day the sons of God* came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan* also came into their midst to present himself before Yahweh.
2 So* Yahweh ⌊asked⌋* Satan,* "From where have you come?"
And Satan* answered Yahweh and said, "From roaming on the earth and from walking about in it." 3 So* Yahweh ⌊asked⌋* Satan,* "Have you ⌊considered⌋* my servant Job? Indeed,* there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil. And still he persists in his blamelessness ⌊even though⌋* you incited me against him to destroy him for nothing." 4 Then* Satan* answered him and said, "Skin for skin! All that ⌊that⌋* man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch out* your hand and touch his bones and his flesh, and see ⌊whether⌋* he will ⌊curse⌋* you to your face."* 6 So* Yahweh said to Satan,* "⌊All right⌋,* he is in your ⌊power⌋.* Only spare his life." 7 So* Satan* went out from ⌊Yahweh's presence⌋,* and he inflicted Job with loathsome skin sores from the sole of his foot up to the crown of his head. 8 ⌊So⌋* he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself, and he sat in the midst of the ashes. 9 Then* his wife said to him, "Are you still persisting in your blamelessness? ⌊Curse⌋* God and die." 10 So* he said to her, "You speak like one of the foolish women speaks. Indeed, should we receive the good from God, but* not receive the evil?" In all this, Job did not sin with his lips. 11 Thus* Job's three friends heard of this calamity that had come upon him. So* each set out from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite. And they met* together to come to console him and to comfort him. 12 Thus* they lifted up their eyes* from afar, but* they did not recognize him, so* they raised their voice, and they wept, and each man tore his outer garment* and threw dust on their heads ⌊toward the sky⌋.* 13 Then* they sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, but* no one spoke* a word to him because they saw that ⌊his⌋* suffering was very great.
