In the course of being badly criticised, falsely accused, and recklessly judged by Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, Job described his three friends as "worthless physicians" and "miserable comforters":
As for you, you whitewash with lies;
all of you are worthless physicians.
Job 13:4 New Revised Standard Version
I have heard many such things;
miserable comforters are you all.
Job 16:2 New Revised Standard Version
Also in chapter 19 verse 20, Job described himself as one who had escaped by the skin of his teeth.
My bones cling to my skin and to my flesh,
and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
Job 19:20 New Revised Standard Version
