Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
