After the LORD
had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am
angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken the
truth about me, as my servant Job has. So now take seven bulls and seven
rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for
yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his
prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not
spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has."
and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves
Genesis 8:20-21 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done."
My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer
James 5:15-16 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the LORD will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
1 John 5:16-17 If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.
and not deal with you according to your folly
Genesis 20:6-7 Then God said to him (Abimelek) in the dream, "Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against me. That is why I did not let you touch her. Now return the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all who belong to you will die."
Job 22:30 "He will deliver even one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."
