Job 42:6-8
Expanded Bible
6 So now I ·hate [despise] myself;
I will ·change my heart and life [L repent], ·and will sit in [L …in] dust and ashes [C for his questioning of God, not for anything that led to his suffering].”
End of the Story
7 After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “·I am angry with [L My anger burns against] you and your two friends, because you have not said what is ·right [correct] about me, as my servant Job did. 8 Now take seven bulls and seven male sheep, and go to my servant Job, and offer a burnt offering [Lev. 1:1–7] for yourselves [C for atonement]. My servant Job will ·pray [intercede] for you, and I will ·listen to [accept] his prayer. Then I will not ·punish you for being foolish [L treat you according to your foolishness]. You have not said what is ·right [correct] about me, as my servant Job did.”
