- Then Job replied to the LORD :
- "I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.
- You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?' Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.
- "You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.'
- My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
|
- Then Job answered the LORD and said,
- "I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.
- 'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' "Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know."
- 'Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me.'
- "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You;
|
- Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes."
- After the LORD had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
- So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has."
- So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.
- After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before.
|
- Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes."
- It came about after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has.
- "Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you 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."
- 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.
- The LORD restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the LORD increased all that Job had twofold.
|
- All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the LORD had brought upon him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.
- The LORD blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys.
- And he also had seven sons and three daughters.
- The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch.
- Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.
|
- Then all his brothers and all his sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversities that the LORD had brought on him. And each one gave him one piece of money, and each a ring of gold.
- The LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys.
- He had seven sons and three daughters.
- He named the first Jemimah, and the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch.
- In all the land no women were found so fair as Job's daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.
|
- After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
- And so he died, old and full of years.
|
- After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations.
- And Job died, an old man and full of days.
