Job 42:6-8

Christian Standard Bible

⁶Therefore, I reject my words and am sorry for them;
I am dust and ashes.^[a]^[b]

⁷After the Lord had finished speaking^[c] to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has. ⁸Now take seven bulls and seven rams, go to my servant Job, and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. Then my servant Job will pray for you.^(A) I will surely accept his prayer and not deal with you as your folly deserves. For you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.”
