[size=32]Job 2:11-13 King James Version (KJV)[/size]
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
[size=32]Job 2:11-13 Good News Translation (GNT)[/size]
11 Three of Job's friends were Eliphaz, from the city of Teman, Bildad, from the land of Shuah, and Zophar, from the land of Naamah. When they heard how much Job had been suffering, they decided to go and comfort him. 12 While they were still a long way off they saw Job, but did not recognize him. When they did, they began to weep and wail, tearing their clothes in grief and throwing dust into the air and on their heads. 13 Then they sat there on the ground with him for seven days and nights without saying a word, because they saw how much he was suffering.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
11 Job’s friends were all from different places which may have shown that Job moved from place to place or that his connections went out to others places sometimes it is the friends we do not see all the time that are there for us when it really counts. The second best comfort comes from a friend but the best comfort comes from the Lord.
12 Job would have looked very different because of his extreme grief and pain. They cared so much that they shared in his pain. Today how often do we care for someone so much that we actually share in their pain?
13 Sometimes the best thing a friend can do for us is be there, there is sometimes where words are not needed, this time no words could have been said to help him feel better.
