Job 2 · Grade 4

Holding Fast in Pain

Name Date

Read and Think

Satan came before Yahweh a second time. Yahweh said that Job still maintained his integrity, even after losing so much. Satan claimed that a man will give all he has for his life, and that if Job's own bone and flesh were touched, Job would renounce God. Yahweh allowed it, but commanded Satan to spare Job's life. Once again God set the limit.

Job was struck with painful sores from head to foot. He sat among the ashes, scraping himself with a potsherd. His wife urged him to renounce God and die. Job told her she spoke like one of the foolish women and asked whether we should receive good from God and not also receive trouble. In all this Job didn't sin with his lips.

Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite came to sympathize with Job and comfort him. They hardly recognized him. They wept aloud, tore their robes, and sprinkled dust on their heads. Then they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word, for they saw that his grief was very great. Their quiet presence was a kind beginning.
