Satan Appears Before God Again
2 On another day the angels came to show themselves before the Lord. And Satan also came with them. 2 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the Lord, “I have been wandering around the earth. I have been going back and forth in it.”
3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? No one else on earth is like him. He is an honest man, innocent of any wrong. He honors God and stays away from evil. You caused me to ruin him for no good reason. But he continues to be without blame.”
4 “One skin for another!” Satan answered. “A man will give all he has to save his own life. 5 But reach out your hand and destroy his own flesh and bones. Then he will curse you to your face.”
6 The Lord said to Satan, “All right, then. Job is in your power. But you must let him live.”
7 So Satan left the Lord’s presence. And he put painful sores all over Job’s body. They went from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. 8 Then Job took a piece of broken pottery. And he used it to scrape himself. He sat in ashes to show how upset he was.
9 Job’s wife said to him, “Are you still trying to stay innocent? You should just curse God and die!”
10 Job answered, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Should we take only good things from God and not trouble?” In all this Job did not sin in what he said.
Job’s Three Friends
11 Now Job had three friends. They were Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite. These friends heard about the troubles that had happened to Job. So they agreed to meet and go see Job. They wanted to show him they were upset for him, too. And they wanted to comfort him. 12 They saw Job from far away. But he looked so different they almost didn’t recognize him. They began to cry loudly. They tore their robes and put dirt on their heads to show how sad they were. 13 Then they sat on the ground with Job seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him. This was because they saw how much he was suffering.

Napadač ponovo napada Joba
2 Jednog su dana nebeska bića ponovo došla pred BOGA, a s njima je došao i Napadač.
2 »Gdje si bio?« upitao je BOG Napadača.
»Lutao sam Zemljom«, odgovorio mu je Napadač. »Obišao sam je uzduž i poprijeko.«
3 »Jesi li primijetio mog slugu Joba?« upitao ga je BOG. »Nitko na Zemlji nije mu ravan. Besprijekoran je i pošten. Poštuje Boga i kloni se zla. Iako si tražio da ga upropastiš bez razloga, on je i dalje vjeran.«
4 »Koža za kožu!« odgovorio je Napadač. »Za svoj će život čovjek dati sve što ima. 5 Ako napadneš njegove kosti i meso, proklet će te u lice.«
6 »Pa, dobro«, rekao je BOG Napadaču. »Job je u tvojim rukama. Samo mu poštedi život.«
7 Napadač je otišao od BOGA i nanio Jobu bolne čireve od glave do pete. 8 Job je nato uzeo dio slomljenog crijepa pa se njime češao dok je sjedio u pepelu.
9 »Zar i dalje nastojiš ostati vjeran?« upitala ga je njegova žena. »Prokuni Boga i umri.«
10 »Govoriš kao jedna od onih sramotnih žena koje nemaju poštovanja prema Bogu«, odgovorio joj je Job. »Zar da od Boga prihvaćamo samo dobro, ali ne i nevolje?« I, usprkos svemu, Job nije rekao ništa čime bi sagriješio.
Jobovi prijatelji
11 Tada su trojica Jobovih prijatelja—Elifaz iz Temana, Bildad iz Šuaha i Sofar iz Naama—čuli za nevolje koje su ga snašle. Krenuli su od svojih kuća, sastali se i dogovorili da će otići utješiti Joba i iskazati mu suosjećanje. 12 Ugledali su ga izdaleka, ali jedva su ga prepoznali. Briznuli su u glasan plač, razderali odjeću i bacili prašinu uvis i po svojim glavama.[a] 13 Potom su sedam dana i sedam noći s njim sjedili na zemlji. I nitko mu nije rekao ni riječ jer su vidjeli kolika je njegova bol.

2 On another day the angels[a](A) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them(B) to present himself before him. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”(C)
3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.(D) And he still maintains his integrity,(E) though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.”(F)
4 “Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has(G) for his own life. 5 But now stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones,(H) and he will surely curse you to your face.”(I)
6 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands;(J) but you must spare his life.”(K)
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.(L) 8 Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes.(M)
9 His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity?(N) Curse God and die!”(O)
10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish[b] woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”(P)
In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.(Q)
11 When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite,(R) Bildad the Shuhite(S) and Zophar the Naamathite,(T) heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.(U) 12 When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him;(V) they began to weep aloud,(W) and they tore their robes(X) and sprinkled dust on their heads.(Y) 13 Then they sat on the ground(Z) with him for seven days and seven nights.(AA) No one said a word to him,(AB) because they saw how great his suffering was.
