Job 42:7-9
The Message
God Restores Job
I Will Accept His Prayer
7-8 After God had finished addressing Job, he turned to Eliphaz the Temanite and said, “I’ve had it with you and your two friends. I’m fed up! You haven’t been honest either with me or about me—not the way my friend Job has. So here’s what you must do. Take seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my friend Job. Sacrifice a burnt offering on your own behalf. My friend Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer. He will ask me not to treat you as you deserve for talking nonsense about me, and for not being honest with me, as he has.”
9 They did it. Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what God commanded. And God accepted Job’s prayer.

Epilogue
7 After the Lord had said these things to Job(A), he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends,(B) because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.(C) 8 So now take seven bulls and seven rams(D) and go to my servant Job(E) and sacrifice a burnt offering(F) for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer(G) and not deal with you according to your folly.(H) You have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.”(I) 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite(J) did what the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.(K)
