“To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend,Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

My friends scorn me;My eyes pour out tears to God.

Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come and mourn with him, and to comfort him.

Just as I was in the days of my prime,When the friendly counsel of God was over my tent;

Blessed Unity of the People of GodBehold, how good and how pleasant it isFor brethren to dwell together in unity!

A friend loves at all times,And a brother is born for adversity.

Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.

A perverse man sows strife,And a whisperer separates the best of friends.

Open rebuke is betterThan love carefully concealed.
