Job 42

1Then Job answered Yehovah, and said,

2I know that you can do all things, And that no purpose of yours can be restrained.

3Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

4Hear, I beg you, and I will speak; I will question you, and you declare to me.

5I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees you:

6Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.

7And it was so, that, after Yehovah had spoken these words to Job, Yehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

8Now therefore, take for 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 him I will accept, that I may not deal with you according to your folly; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

9So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as Yehovah commanded them: and Yehovah accepted Job.

10And Yehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: and Yehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.

11Then all his brothers came to him, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Yehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.

12So Yehovah blessed the latter end of Job 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.

13He had also seven sons and three daughters.

14And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

15And in all the land no women were found so beautiful as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

16And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.

17So Job died, being old and full of days.
