Job 42:7-9

Expanded Bible

End of the Story

⁷ After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “·I am angry with [^LMy anger burns against] you and your two friends, because you have not said what is ·right [correct] about me, as my servant Job did. ⁸ Now take seven bulls and seven male sheep, and go to my servant Job, and offer a burnt offering [Lev. 1:1–7] for yourselves [^Cfor atonement]. My servant Job will ·pray [intercede] for you, and I will ·listen to [accept] his prayer. Then I will not ·punish you for being foolish [^Ltreat you according to your foolishness]. You have not said what is ·right [correct] about me, as my servant Job did.” ⁹ So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did as the Lord said, and the Lord ·listened to [accepted] Job’s prayer.
