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)

²⁴ He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”

²⁵ Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. ²⁶ Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into^[a] the village.”
