Job 2:11–13, “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. 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. 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.”
When Job’s three friends heard about his problems they agreed together that he needed some comfort and came to visit him. They didn’t recognise Job, at first, because he was so devastated by his diseases. They sat nearby and didn’t say anything for seven days. They understood that, sometimes, people just need the comfort of people close by rather than conversation.
