Job 42,7

EliphazJob
Truth and honestyJustice

5 Jeg hadde hørt om deg ved ørets hørsel,
men nå har mine øyne sett deg;

6 Derfor trekker jeg mine ord tilbake
og angrer i støv og aske."

Etter at Herren hadde talt disse ordene til Job, sa han til Elifas fra Teman: "Min vrede brenner mot deg og dine to venner, fordi dere ikke har talt det rette om meg, slik som min tjener Job har.

8 Nå ta syv okser og syv værer og gå til min tjener Job og ofre et brennoffer for dere selv. Min tjener Job skal be for dere, og jeg vil akseptere hans bønn og ikke behandle dere etter deres dårskap, fordi dere ikke har talt det rette om meg, slik som min tjener Job har."

9 Så gikk Elifas fra Teman, Bildad fra Sjuah og Sofar fra Naama og gjorde som Herren hadde befalt dem; og Herren aksepterte Jobs bønn.
