The heavenly court reconvenes. Satan is among them. God brags about Job in that Job has not cursed God. This time, Satan argues that Job would curse God if he is physically harmed. God agrees and Job is struck with boils. Here, disease and pain are attributed to Satan, although God allows it.
Job maintains his position and won't curse God. He wife suggests that he curse God and die. Job refuses to do so. (v. 10)
His three friends are more supportive. They come to him, tear their clothes, and sit with him in silence for 7 days because his suffering was too great.
