1. Then Job, responding to the Lord, said:
2. I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you.
3. So, who is it that would disguise a lack of knowledge as counsel? Therefore, I have been speaking foolishly, about things whose measure exceeds my knowledge.
4. Listen, and I will speak. I will question you, and you may answer me.
5. By paying attention with the ear, I have heard you, but now my eye sees you.
6. Therefore, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers and ashes.
7. But after the Lord had finished speaking these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath has been kindled against you, and against your two friends, because you have not been speaking correctly in my eyes, as my servant Job has done.
8. Therefore, have seven bulls and seven rams brought to you, and go to my servant Job, and offer these as a holocaust for yourselves. But also, my servant Job will pray for you; I will accept his face, so that foolishness will not be imputed to you. For you have not been speaking correctly about me, as my servant Job has done.
