Job 42:7-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

IX. Epilogue

Job’s Restoration. 7 And after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger blazes against you and your two friends![a] You have not spoken rightly concerning me, as has my servant Job. 8 So now take seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves, and let my servant Job pray for you.[b] To him I will show favor, and not punish your folly, for you have not spoken rightly concerning me, as has my servant Job.”

Footnotes

  1. 42:7 The three friends of Job (Elihu is ignored in the epilogue) are criticized by the Lord because they had “not spoken rightly” (vv. 7–8).
  2. 42:8 An ironic touch: Job becomes the intercessor for his friends.
