1. Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,
2. I know that thou canst do all things, And that no purpose of thine can be restrained.
3. Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which 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 had 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 Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, 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. Now therefore, take unto you 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, that I deal not with you after your folly; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
