Job 2:12 in Context — Job 2
10 Mais Job lui répondit: Tu parles comme une femme insensée. Quoi! Nous recevons de Dieu le bien, et nous ne recevrions pas aussi le mal! En tout cela Job ne pécha point par ses lèvres.
11 Trois amis de Job, Éliphaz de Théman, Bildad de Schuach, et Tsophar de Naama, apprirent tous les malheurs qui lui étaient arrivés. Ils se concertèrent et partirent de chez eux pour aller le plaindre et le consoler!
12 Ayant de loin porté les regards sur lui, ils ne le reconnurent pas, et ils élevèrent la voix et pleurèrent. Ils déchirèrent leurs manteaux, et ils jetèrent de la poussière en l’air au-dessus de leur tête.
13 Et ils se tinrent assis à terre auprès de lui sept jours et sept nuits, sans lui dire une parole, car ils voyaient combien sa douleur était grande.
