Job 42:6 Context
4Heare, I beseech thee, and I will speake: I will demand of thee, and declare thou vnto me. 5I haue heard of thee by the hearing of the eare: but now mine eye seeth thee. 6Wherefore I abhorre my selfe, and repent in dust and ashes. 7¶ And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words vnto Iob, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, & against thy two friends: for ye haue not spoken of mee the thing that is right, as my seruant Iob hath. 8Therefore take vnto you now seuen bullocks, and seuen rammes, and goe to my seruant Iob, and offer vp for your selues a burnt offring, and my seruant Iob shal pray for you, for him wil I accept: lest I deale with you after your folly, in that ye haue not spoken of mee the thing which is right, like my seruant Iob.
