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.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 2 of Job. Job is physically afflicted and sits among the ashes while his wife questions whether he can maintain his integrity. He refuses to respond to suffering by cursing God. The arrival of his three friends introduces an important dimension: for seven days they remain silent, initially recognizing that Job’s pain exceeds any quick explanation.
