Job 42:6

Job's Repentance And Restoration

⁵ Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you. ⁶ For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust. ⁷ And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
