Job 42:8

Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, 1 And go to my servant Job, 1 And he shall offer a burnt offering for you. 1 And my servant Job shall pray for you, 1 For I will only accept him: 1 For but for his sake, I would have destroyed you, 1 For ye have not spoken the truth against my servant Job. 1
