Holy Scripture

Job 42:6

A church father on this verse
“God clearly said to him, "Do you think that I have dealt with you in any other way than that you might appear to be righteous?" That was in order, he says, to make you speak as you are speaking now, and not in order to condemn you. This is a justification for all that happened before. Actually he has not been delivere…”

4But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: And I will ask thee, and do thou teach me.

5I have heard the report of thee by the ear before; But now mine eye has seen thee.

— Job 42:6 —

7And it came to pass after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Thou hast sinned, and thy two friends: For ye have not said anything true before me, As my servant Job has.

8Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, And go to my servant Job, And he shall offer a burnt offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, For I will only accept him: For but for his sake, I would have destroyed you, For ye have not spoken the truth against my servant Job.
