End of the Story
7 After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “·I am angry with [L My anger burns against] you and your two friends, because you have not said what is ·right [correct] about me, as my servant Job did. 8 Now take seven bulls and seven male sheep, and go to my servant Job, and offer a burnt offering [Lev. 1:1–7] for yourselves [C for atonement]. My servant Job will ·pray [intercede] for you, and I will ·listen to [accept] his prayer. Then I will not ·punish you for being foolish [L treat you according to your foolishness]. You have not said what is ·right [correct] about me, as my servant Job did.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did as the Lord said, and the Lord ·listened to [accepted] Job’s prayer.

God Displeased with Job’s Friends
7 It came about that after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has. 8 Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept him [and his prayer] so that I may not deal with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job has.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.
