1. Then Job answered the Lord, and said:
2. I know that thou canst do all things, and no thought is hid from thee.
3. Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken unwisely, and things that above measure exceeded my knowledge.
4. Hear, and I will speak: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.
5. With the hearing of the ear, I have heard thee, but now my eye seeth thee.
6. Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes.
7. And after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends, because you have not spoken the thing that is right before my, as my servant Job hath.
8. Take unto you therefore seven oxen, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a holocaust: and my servant Job shall pray for you: his face I will accept, that folly be not imputed to you: for you have not spoken right things before me, as my servant Job hath.
