Job 42:6

Job's Repentance And Restoration

⁵ With my ears I had heard thee; but now my eyes see thee. ⁶ Therefore I retract,
And I repent in dust and ashes.” ⁷ And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz, the Temanite, My wrath has been kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken by me in uprightness, as my slave Job has.
