Job42:8

8. Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job , and offer up for your selves 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.

Whom though you have censured and condemned as an Hypocrite I own for my faithful Servant, humane infirmity excepted.

By the hand of Iob, whom I do hereby constitute your Priest to pray and Sacrifice for you.

To wit, on your behalf as well as on his own.

Lest my wrath and just judgment take hold of you for your false and foolish speeches.

Marginal references: Heb. his face, or, person.
