Once again, Satan came into God’s presence to tempt God to hurt Job. This time he told God that someone like Job would reverence Him only as long as he himself wasn’t hurt. He said that if God would touch Job himself and not just his possessions, then Job would indeed curse God.
God allowed Satan to touch Job’s body, but would not allow him to take away his life. Satan caused Job’s body to be covered with terribly painful boils. Job, who was in great distress, sat down to do what he could to relieve his misery. Even his own wife told him to curse God so that he would die and be relieved from his awful suffering. But Job remained faithful to God and accepted all that had happened without sinning with his lips by anything he said.
Job had three friends who had heard of all that had happened to him and who came to comfort him. When they saw Job, they were so shocked at the sight that they did not speak to him for seven days.
