Job 2:8-10
EasyEnglish Bible
8 Job was very upset and he sat down among some ashes. He used a piece of a broken pot to remove the bad bits of skin.
9 His wife said to him, ‘You cannot continue to trust God! Instead, you should curse God and then die.’ 10 Job replied, ‘Do not talk like a fool! We take the good things that God gives us. So we should not be surprised if he sends us trouble as well.’
In all his trouble, Job never said any wrong things against God.
