After the physical trial of the loss of wealth and children, Job must now face the psychological opposition of his wife as a new test (HESYCHIUS). But Job is able to refute her argument by recognizing the absolute power of God (CHRYSOSTOM). Job’s three friends symbolically represent the three classes of the high priests, priests and prophets (EPHREM). They come to Job in order to comfort him for his painful loss of children and wealth and for the present diseases which afflict him (DIDYMUS).
