Job 2

1Again 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.

וַיְהִי הַיֹּום וַיָּבֹאוּ בְּנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים לְהִתְיַצֵּב עַל־יְהוָה וַיָּבֹוא גַם־הַשָּׂטָן בְּתֹכָם לְהִתְיַצֵּב עַל־יְהוָה׃ (2490)

2And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־הַשָּׂטָן אֵי מִזֶּה תָּבֹא וַיַּעַן הַשָּׂטָן אֶת־יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר מִשֻּׁט בָּאָרֶץ וּמֵהִתְהַלֵּךְ בָּהּ׃ (3483)

3And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־הַשָּׂטָן הֲשַׂמְתָּ לִבְּךָ אֶל־עַבְדִּי אִיֹּוב כִּי אֵין כָּמֹהוּ בָּאָרֶץ אִישׁ תָּם וְיָשָׁר יְרֵא אֱלֹהִים וְסָר מֵרָע וְעֹדֶנּוּ מַחֲזִיק בְּתֻמָּתֹו וַתְּסִיתֵנִי בֹו לְבַלְּעֹו חִנָּם׃ (6535)

4And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

וַיַּעַן הַשָּׂטָן אֶת־יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר עֹור בְּעַד־עֹור וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר לָאִישׁ יִתֵּן בְּעַד נַפְשֹׁו׃ (3682)

5But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

אוּלָם שְׁלַח־נָא יָדְךָ וְגַע אֶל־עַצְמֹו וְאֶל־בְּשָׂרֹו אִם־לֹא אֶל־פָּנֶיךָ יְבָרֲכֶךָּ׃ (1876)

6And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־הַשָּׂטָן הִנֹּו בְיָדֶךָ אַךְ אֶת־נַפְשֹׁו שְׁמֹר׃ (2173)

7So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

וַיֵּצֵא הַשָּׂטָן מֵאֵת פְּנֵי יְהוָה וַיַּךְ אֶת־אִיֹּוב בִּשְׁחִין רָע מִכַּף רַגְלֹו [עַד כ] (וְעַד ק) קָדְקֳדֹו׃ (3041)

8And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.

וַיִּקַּח־לֹו חֶרֶשׂ לְהִתְגָּרֵד בֹּו וְהוּא יֹשֵׁב בְּתֹוךְ־הָאֵפֶר׃ (2362)

9Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

וַתֹּאמֶר לֹו אִשְׁתֹּו עֹדְךָ מַחֲזִיק בְּתֻמָּתֶךָ בָּרֵךְ אֱלֹהִים וָמֻת׃ (3265)

10But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ כְּדַבֵּר אַחַת הַנְּבָלֹות תְּדַבֵּרִי גַּם אֶת־הַטֹּוב נְקַבֵּל מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים וְאֶת־הָרָע לֹא נְקַבֵּל בְּכָל־זֹאת לֹא־חָטָא אִיֹּוב בִּשְׂפָתָיו׃ (5448)

11Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת ׀ רֵעֵי אִיֹּוב אֵת כָּל־הָרָעָה הַזֹּאת הַבָּאָה עָלָיו וַיָּבֹאוּ אִישׁ מִמְּקֹמֹו אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּימָנִי וּבִלְדַּד הַשּׁוּחִי וְצֹופַר הַנַּעֲמָתִי וַיִּוָּעֲדוּ יַחְדָּו לָבֹוא לָנוּד־לֹו וּלְנַחֲמֹו׃ (6006)

12And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־עֵינֵיהֶם מֵרָחֹוק וְלֹא הִכִּירֻהוּ וַיִּשְׂאוּ קֹולָם וַיִּבְכּוּ וַיִּקְרְעוּ אִישׁ מְעִלֹו וַיִּזְרְקוּ עָפָר עַל־רָאשֵׁיהֶם הַשָּׁמָיְמָה׃ (4673)

13So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.

וַיֵּשְׁבוּ אִתֹּו לָאָרֶץ שִׁבְעַת יָמִים וְשִׁבְעַת לֵילֹות וְאֵין־דֹּבֵר אֵלָיו דָּבָר כִּי רָאוּ כִּי־גָדַל הַכְּאֵב מְאֹד׃ (4081)
