< previous JOB - CHAPTER FORTY-TWO next >
1 Then Job answered Jehovah,
2 “I know that you can do all things,
and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
3 You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel
without knowledge?’
therefore I have uttered that which I did not
understand,
things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.
4 You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak;
I will question you, and you will answer me.’
5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
but now my eye sees you.
6 Therefore I abhor myself,
and repent in dust and ashes.”
7 It was so, that after Jehovah had spoken these
words to Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled
against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me rightly,
as my servant Job has. 8 Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and
seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt
offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I
not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me rightly,
as my servant Job has.”
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite
and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what Jehovah commanded them, and Jehovah
accepted Job.
10 Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he
prayed for his friends. Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before. 11 Then
all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his
acquaintance before, came to him and ate bread with him in his house. They
comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had
brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring
of gold.
12 So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more
than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one
thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys. 13 He had also seven
sons and three daughters. 14 He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and
the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch. 15 In
all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their
father gave them an inheritance among their brothers. 16 After this Job
lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four
generations. 17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
