Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.

As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.

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.

To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.

Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.

I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.

O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!

He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.

Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.

I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.

If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
