3 You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about,things far too wonderful for me.
4 You said, ‘Listen and I will speak!I have some questions for you,and you must answer them.’
5 I had only heard about you before,but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 I take back everything I said,and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”
7 After the lord had finished speaking to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken accurately about me, as my servant Job has.
8 So take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer on your behalf. I will not treat you as you deserve, for you have not spoken accurately about me, as my servant Job has.”
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did as the lord commanded them, and the lord accepted Job’s prayer.
