Job 42:6-17
Therefore I retract, And I repent, sitting on dust and ashes.”It came about after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite,“ My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is trustworthy, as My servant Job has.Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept him so as not to do with you as your foolishness deserves, because you have not spoken of Me what is trustworthy, as My servant Job has.”So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job.The Lord also restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord increased double all that Job had.Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they sympathized with him and comforted him for all the adversities that the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave him a piece of money, and each a ring of gold.The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.He also had seven sons and three daughters.He named the first Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren happuch.In all the land no women were found as beautiful as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them inheritances among their brothers.After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations.And Job died, an old man and full of days.

Isaiah 6:5-13
Then I said,“ Woe to me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of armies.”Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs.He touched my mouth with it and said,“ Behold, this has touched your lips; and your guilt is taken away and atonement is made for your sin.”Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,“ Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said,“ Here am I. Send me!”And He said,“ Go, and tell this people:‘ Keep on listening, but do not understand; And keep on looking, but do not gain knowledge.’Make the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes blind, So that they will not see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed.”Then I said,“ Lord, how long?” And He answered,“ Until cities are devastated and without inhabitant, Houses are without people And the land is utterly desolate,The Lord has completely removed people, And there are many forsaken places in the midst of the land.Yet there will still be a tenth portion in it, And it will again be subject to burning, Like a terebinth or an oak Whose stump remains when it is cut down. The holy seed is its stump.”
