Job 2:9-10 CEV
(9) his wife asked, "Why do you still trust God? Why don't you curse him and die?" (10) Job replied, "Don't talk like a fool! If we accept blessings from God, we must accept trouble as well." In all that happened, Job never once said anything against God.

Job 2:9-10 GW
(9) His wife asked him, "Are you still holding on to your principles? Curse God and die!" (10) He said to her, "You're talking like a godless fool. We accept the good that God gives us. Shouldn't we also accept the bad?" Through all this Job's lips did not utter one sinful word.

Job 2:9-10 NWT
9 Finally his wife said to him: "Are you yet holding fast your integrity? Curse God and die!" 10 But he said to her: "As one of the senseless women speaks, you speak also. Shall we accept merely what is good from the [true] God and not accept also what is bad?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

Job 2:9-10 GNB
(9) His wife said to him, "You are still as faithful as ever, aren't you? Why don't you curse God and die?" (10) Job answered, "You are talking nonsense! When God sends us something good, we welcome it. How can we complain when he sends us trouble?" Even in all this suffering Job said nothing against God.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
