2 "I know that you can do all things, And that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
3 You asked, `Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?` Therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I didn`t know.
4 You said, `Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.`
5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees you.
6 Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes."
7 It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
8 Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has."
