Job's Three Friends

¹¹ Eliphaz from Teman, Bildad from Shuah, and Zophar from Naamah^[a] were three of Job's friends, and they heard about his troubles. So they agreed to visit Job and comfort him. ¹² When they came near enough to see Job, they could hardly recognize him. And in their great sorrow, they tore their clothes, then sprinkled dust on their heads and cried bitterly.
