²¹ And he said, See, I have given you your request in this one thing more: I will not send destruction on this town.

⁷ If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master.

¹⁷ Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.

⁸ I say to you, Though he will not get up and give to him, because he is his friend, still, if he keeps on making his request, he will get up and give him as much as he has need of.

²⁰ The crushed stem will not be broken by him; and the feebly burning light will he not put out, till he has made righteousness overcome all.

¹⁰ This is what the Lord has said about this people: Even so they have been glad to go from the right way; they have not kept their feet from wandering, so the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep their wrongdoing in mind and send punishment for their sins.

¹⁹ To his worshippers, he will give their desire; their cry comes to his ears, and he gives them salvation.

¹⁷ When he has given ear to the prayer of the poor, and has not put his request on one side.

¹⁵ The eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their cry.

⁸ And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.

⁹ And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.

²⁴ If by chance there are fifty upright men in the town, will you give the place to destruction and not have mercy on it because of the fifty upright men?

² And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making your name great; and you will be a blessing:

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.

¹⁶ Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.
