Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say , I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children’s sake of mine own body.
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
