1. Job said:
2. No one can oppose you,because you have the powerto do what you want.
3. You asked why I talk so muchwhen I know so little.I have talked about thingsthat are far beyondmy understanding.
4. You told me to listenand answer your questions.
5. I heard about you from others;now I have seen youwith my own eyes.
6. That's why I hate myselfand sit here in dust and ashesto show my sorrow.
7. The Lord said to Eliphaz:What my servant Job has said about me is true, but I am angry with you and your two friends for not telling the truth.
8. So I want you to go over to Job and offer seven bulls and seven goats on an altar as a sacrifice to please me. After this, Job will pray, and I will agree not to punish you for your foolishness.
9. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar obeyed the Lord, and he answered Job's prayer.
