Job’s Repentance and Restoration

1 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
2 “I know that You acan do everything,
And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You. 
3 You asked, a‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
bThings too wonderful for me, which I did not know. 
4 Listen, please, and let me speak;
You said, a‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’ 
5 “I have aheard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You. 
6 Therefore I aabhor myself,
And repent in dust and ashes.”  
7 And so it was, after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.
8 Now therefore, take for yourselves aseven bulls and seven rams, bgo to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall cpray for you. For I will accept1 him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”
