8 Then Job took a piece of broken pottery. And he used it to scrape himself. He sat in ashes to show how upset he was.
9 Job’s wife said to him, “Are you still trying to stay innocent? You should just curse God and die!”
10 Job answered, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Should we take only good things from God and not trouble?” In all this Job did not sin in what he said.
