Job 2:9 in Context — Job 2

7 Então Satanás saiu de diante do SENHOR, e feriu a Jó de chagas malignas desde a planta de seus pés até a topo de sua cabeça.

8 E [Jó] tomou um caco para se raspar com ele, e ficou sentado no meio da cinza.

9 Então sua mulher lhe disse: Ainda manténs a tua integridade? Amaldiçoa a Deus, e morre.

10 Porém ele lhe disse: Tu falas como uma tola. Receberíamos o bem de Deus, e o mal não receberíamos? Em tudo isto Jó não pecou com seus lábios.

11 Quando três amigos de Jó, Elifaz temanita, Bildade suíta, e Zofar naamita, ouviram todo este mal que lhe tinha vindo sobre ele, vieram cada um de seu lugar; porque haviam combinado de juntamente virem para se condoerem dele, e o consolarem.
