King James Version
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.(Job 2:11)
And 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.(Job 2:12)
So 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.(Job 2:13)
After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
And Job spake, and said,(Job 3:2)
Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.(Job 3:3)
Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.(Job 3:4)
