So take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer on your behalf. I will not treat you as...

"Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!” Psalms 47:1 (NKJV)   If you read the above text very fast, you will miss the spiritual import.
