Job 42:6

Job's Repentance And Restoration

⁵ I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye has seen You. ⁶ Therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes. ⁷ And it happened after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.
