Job’s friends had heard of all the sorrow that had befallen Job and they came to comfort him. They realized how sad he was, and so they said nothing to him. Instead, they just sat with him for seven whole days.
But this seemed to do something very strange to Job. Instead of being comforted by his friends, he started complaining about what had happened to him. His friends did not do much to help him. Sad to say, they began to find fault with Job. They pointed out many failures in Job’s life as reasons for why all of these terrible things had happened to him.
