Job's Friends Visit and Mourn Silently

Job 2:11-13

2
Chapter 2
11 The three friends of Job heard all this evil that was coming upon him. They came, each man from his place—Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite—and they appointed themselves together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. 12 They lifted their eyes from afar and did not recognize him. They lifted their voice and wept, tore each his upper garment, and threw dust on their heads heavenward. 13 They sat with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
