Job 42:7-9

God Displeased with Job's Friends

7 It came about after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right 1as My servant Job has.
8 "Now therefore, take for yourselves 2seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a 3burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will 4pray for you. 5For I will accept * him so that I may not do with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has."
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted * Job.
