Job 2:11 | MHM | STEP | Job Visited by His Friends. This section describes how Job’s friends responded when they heard about his great suffering. Job was famous for his wisdom and goodness, so his troubles became known everywhere. While some people mocked him, his true friends came to comfort him. Their actions show the value of friendship, especially during hard times. True friends do not abandon each other in adversity, but try to bring comfort and support. v. 11 : Three friends of Job—Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar—heard about his troubles and decided to visit him. They were respected, wise, and possibly leaders or princes in their own countries. These men were likely descendants of Abraham, showing that wisdom and piety could be found outside Israel. They came together to mourn with Job and try to comfort him, proving that friendship is especially important in times of suffering (Job 2:11; Ecclesiastes 7:4 ; James 1:27; Matthew 25:36 ).
