Job's Three Friends

Job 2

¹¹ Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place - Eliphaz the _n Temanite, Bildad the _o Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come _p and mourn with him, and to comfort him. ¹² And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and _q sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven. ¹³ So they sat down with him on the ground _r seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
