Job 42:1-9 ▼

1 And Job answered YHWH and said:

2 “I know that You are able to do all things, and a plan from You cannot be thwarted.

3 ‘Who is this, concealing counsel without knowledge?’ So I have declared, and did not understand—things too wonderful for me, and I did not know.

4 ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’

5 By the hearing of the ear I had heard of You, and now my eye has seen You.

6 Upon thus I despise it, and I repent in dust and ashes.”

7 And it came to pass, after YHWH had spoken these words to Job, that YHWH said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger is kindled against you, and against the two friends of yours, for you have? not spoken of Me accurately as My servant Job has.

8 And now, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And Job My servant shall pray for you? (for surely I will lift his face), so as not to deal with your? folly, for you? have not spoken of Me accurately, as My servant Job has.”

9 Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did according to what YHWH had spoken to them; and YHWH lifted up the face of Job.
