Job 42
4 You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’
5 My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You.
6 Therefore I despise myself, and I repent in dust and ashes.”
7 After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has.
8 So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, as My servant Job has.”
