2 I know that thou canst do every thing,and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge?Therefore have I uttered that I understood not;things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak:I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear;but now mine eye seeth thee:
6 wherefore I abhor myself,and repent in dust and ashes.
7 And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to El´iphaz the Te´manite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
