Job 42:8

Now take seven young bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer them as a burnt offering for yourselves [Deut. 1:1–7]. My servant Job will then pray [offer a vicarious prayer] for you. I will listen to his prayer. I will not treat (act against) you based on your ignorance (shamelessness). You have not spoken the truth about me as my servant Job has done."
[The problem with the theology of Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar was that they said that God immediately judges sin and rewards goodness. If something bad happens, the person affected must have committed some sin. Eliho, who spoke last (Job 32–37), does not receive God's criticism, nor does he receive praise.]

νῦν δὲ λάβετε ἑπτὰ μόσχους καὶ ἑπτὰ κριοὺς καὶ πορεύθητε πρὸς τὸν θεράποντά μου Ιωβ καὶ ποιήσει κάρπωσιν περὶ ὑμῶν Ιωβ δὲ ὁ θεράπων μου εὔξεται περὶ ὑμῶν ὅτι εἰ μὴ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ λήμψομαι εἰ μὴ γὰρ δι᾽ αὐτόν ἀπώλεσα ἂν ὑμᾶς οὐ γὰρ ἐλαλήσατε ἀληθὲς κατὰ τοῦ θεράποντός μου Ιωβ
