⁸ So now take seven bulls and seven rams^(A) and go to my servant Job^(B) and sacrifice a burnt offering^(C) for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer^(D) and not deal with you according to your folly.^(E) You have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.”^{(F) 9} So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite^(G) did what the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.^(H)

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest^(A) who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are^(B)—yet he did not sin.^{(C) 16} Let us then approach^(D) God’s throne of grace with confidence,^(E) so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

¹⁷ For this reason he had to be made like them,^[a](A) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful^(B) and faithful high priest^(C) in service to God,^(D) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.^(E)
