Job’s comforter; patience of Job. A Job’s comforter is some- one who in meaning to comfort you adds to your sorrows, especially by advising that you brought your troubles upon yourself. “Miserable comforters are ye all,” Job told the three friends who came to console him in his misery, the scolding lectures they delivered to him now known as Jobations.
