Job 2

Gen Z: Job 2

1So there was a day when the sons of God pulled up to vibe with the Lord, and Satan showed up too, no cap.

2The Lord asked Satan, "Where you been at?" And Satan was like, "Just cruisin' around the earth, you know how it is."

3Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you peeped my guy Job? He’s literally one of a kind, a straight-up legend who fears God and dodges evil. Still keeps it real even though you tried to come for him."

4Satan shot back, "It's all about that skin, fam. A dude will do anything to save his life."

5"But if you just touch his body, he’ll curse you right to your face," he added.

6The Lord replied, "Aight, he’s in your hands, but you can’t take his life."

7So Satan dipped from the Lord's presence and hit Job with some nasty boils from head to toe.

8Job grabbed a piece of pottery to scrape his skin and sat in the ashes, just chillin'.

9Then his wife was like, "You still holding it down? Just curse God and end it."

10But he told her, "You sound like one of those foolish chicks. What? We gonna take the good from God but not the bad? Job didn’t say a word against God in all this."

11When Job’s three homies heard about the drama, they rolled up from their spots: Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar. They made plans to come through and comfort him.

12When they saw him from a distance and didn’t recognize him, they started crying, ripped their clothes, and threw dust in the air like, "This is rough."

13They just sat with him on the ground for seven days and nights, not saying a peep, 'cause they could tell he was feeling it hard.

KJV: Job 2

1Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.

2And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

3And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

4And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

5But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

6And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

7So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

8And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.

9Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

10But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

11Now 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.

12And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

13So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
