"But his wife said to him, “Do you still continue in your simplicity? Bless God and die.” "
— Job 2:9, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.”
“Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce God, and die. ”
“Then his wife said to him, "Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die."”
“Then his wife said to him,“Are you still holding firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die!””
“And his wife said to him: Dost thou still continue in thy simplicity? bless God and die.”
“And his wife said to him, Are you still keeping your righteousness? Say a curse against God, and put an end to yourself.”
“Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.”
Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but even so, spare his life.”
And so, Satan departed from the face of the Lord and he struck Job with a very serious ulcer from the sole of the foot all the way to the crown of his head.
So he took a shard of earthenware and scraped the discharge, while sitting on a heap of refuse.
But his wife said to him, “Do you still continue in your simplicity? Bless God and die.”
He said to her, “You have spoken like one of the foolish wives. If we accepted good things from the hand of God, why should we not accept bad things?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
And so, three friends of Job, hearing about all the evil that had befallen him, arrived, each one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had agreed to come together to visit and console him.
And when they had raised up their eyes from a distance, they did not recognize him, and, crying out, they wept, and, tearing their garments, they scattered dust over their heads into the sky.
