⁷ Now therefore, restore the man’s wife; ^(A)for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, ^(B)know that you shall surely die, you ^(C)and all who are yours.”

¹⁷ So Abraham ^(A)prayed to God; and God ^(B)healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children;

⁸ Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, ^(A)“Entreat^[a] the Lord that He may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people ^(B)go, that they may sacrifice to the Lord.”

^7 (A)Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, “We have ^(B)sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; ^(C)pray to the Lord that He take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.

⁶ Then the king answered and said to the man of God, “Please ^(A)entreat the favor of the Lord your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me.”

So the man of God entreated the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored to him, and became as before.

⁸ Now therefore, take for yourselves ^(A)seven bulls and seven rams, ^(B)go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall ^(C)pray for you. For I will accept ^[a]him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”

^16 [a]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. ^(A)The effective, ^[b]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
