Job 42:1-9 ▼

1 And Job will answer Jehovah, and he will say,

2 I knew that thou wilt be able to do all, and counsel shall not be restrained from thee.

3 Who this hiding counsel without knowledge? for this, I announced, and I shall not understand; wonders above me, and I shall not know.

4 Hear, now, and I will speak: I will ask thee and make thou known to me.

5 By the hearing of the ear I heard of thee: and now mine eyes saw thee:

6 For this, I shall melt away, and I lamented in dust and ashes.

7 And it will be after Jehovah spake these words to Job, and Jehovah will say to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger was kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye spake not the right before me as my servant Job.

8 And now take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and bring up a burnt-offering for yourselves; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for his face I will accept, so as not to do with you for folly, for ye spake not to me the right as my servant Job.

9 And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite, will go, and they will do according as God Jehovah spake: and Jehovah will accept the face of Job.
