11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came each from his own place, ^lEliphaz the Temanite, ^mBildad the Shuhite, and ⁿZophar the Naamathite. They made an appointment together to come to ^oshow him sympathy and comfort him. 12 And when they saw him from a distance, they did not recognize him. And they raised their voices and wept, and ^pthey tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads toward heaven. 13 And they sat with him on the ground ^qseven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.
