Job 42:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 I have [a]heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee.
6 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
7 Now after that the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord also said unto Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is [b]right, like my servant [c]Job.
