42:1 Then Job replied to the LORD:
42:2 “I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.
42:3 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.
42:4 “You said,’Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’
42:5 My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
42:6 Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
42:7 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.
42:8 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.”
42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer.
42:10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before.
42:11 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.
42:12 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.
42:13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters.
42:14 The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch.
42:15 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.
42:16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
42:17 And so he died, old and full of years.
42:1 Then Job answered Jehovah and said,
42:2 I know that You can do all things / And that no purpose of Yours can be restrained.
42:3 Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? / Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, / Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
42:4 Hear now, and I will speak; / I will ask of You, and You shall inform me.
42:5 I had heard of You by the hearing of the ear, / But now my eye has seen You;
42:6 Therefore I abhor myself, and I repent / In dust and ashes.
42:7 And after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My anger is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken concerning Me that which is right, as My servant Job has.
42:8 Now therefore take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer them as a burnt offering for yourselves. And My servant Job will pray for you; for I will accept him, so that I do not deal with you according to your folly; for you have not spoken concerning Me that which is right, as My servant Job has.
42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as Jehovah told them; and Jehovah accepted Job.
42:10 And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends, and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.
42:11 And all his brothers and all his sisters and all his previous acquaintances came to him and ate bread with him in his house. And they consoled and comforted him for all the misfortune that Jehovah had brought upon him. And each gave to him a piece of money, and each, a gold ring.
42:12 Thus Jehovah blessed Job’s latter end more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep and six thousand camels and a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand female donkeys.
42:13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
42:14 And he named the first Jemimah, and the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch.
42:15 And in all the land no women were found as beautiful as the daughters of Job. And their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
42:16 And after this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; and he saw his children and his grandchildren, even four generations.
42:17 And Job died, old and full of days.
