Job 42:6

Job's Repentance And Restoration

⁵ I had heard rumors about You,
but now my eyes have seen You.
⁶ Therefore I take back my words
and repent in dust and ashes. ⁷ After the Lord had finished speaking to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken the truth about Me, as My servant Job has.
