| 2:1 |  gaine there was a day when the sonnes of God came to present themselues before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himselfe before the Lord. |
|
| 2:2 | And the Lord said vnto Satan, From whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to & fro in the earth, and from walking vp and downe in it. | |
| 2:3 | And the Lord said vnto Satan, Hast thou considered my seruant Iob, that there is none like him in the earth; a perfect and an vpright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill? and still hee holdeth fast his integritie, although thou moouedst mee against him, to destroy him without cause. |
 |
| 2:4 | And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skinne for skinne, yea all that a man hath, wil he giue for his life. | |
| 2:5 | But put foorth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. | |
| 2:6 | And the Lord said vnto Satan, Behold, hee is in thine hand, but saue his life. |
|
| 2:7 | So went Satan foorth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Iob with sore biles, from the sole of his foote vnto his crowne. | |
| 2:8 | And hee tooke him a potsheard to scrape himselfe withall; and hee sate downe among the ashes. | |
| 2:9 | Then saide his wife vnto him, Doest thou still reteine thine integritie? Curse God, and die. | |
| 2:10 | But he said vnto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh; what? shall wee receiue good at the hand of God, and shall wee not receiue euill? In all this did not Iob sinne with his lippes. | |
| 2:11 | Now when Iobs three friends heard of all this euill, that was come vpon him, they came euery one from his owne place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; for they had made an appointment together to come to mourne with him, and to comfort him. | |
| 2:12 | And when they lift vp their eyes afarre off, and knew him not, they lifted vp their voice, and wept; and they rent euery one his mantle, and sprinckled dust vpon their heades toward heauen. | |
| 2:13 | So they sate downe with him vpon the ground seuen dayes, and seuen nights, and none spake a word vnto him; for they saw that his griefe was very great. | |
