Job 42:7-8
Contemporary English Version
The Lord Corrects Job's Friends
7 The Lord said to Eliphaz:
What my servant Job has said about me is true, but I am angry with you and your two friends for not telling the truth. 8 So I want you to go over to Job and offer seven bulls and seven goats on an altar as a sacrifice to please me.[a] After this, Job will pray, and I will agree not to punish you for your foolishness.

- 42.8 sacrifice to please me: These sacrifices have traditionally been called “whole burnt offerings” because the whole animal was burned on the altar. A main purpose of such sacrifices was to please the Lord with the smell of the sacrifice, and so in the CEV they are often called “sacrifices to please the Lord.”

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)
