For I will accept him so that I may not do with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has."  9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job.  10 And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the LORD increased all that Job had twofold.)
