Job 42

1 Then Job replied to the LORD:

2 “I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

3 You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

4 You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’

5 My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You.

6 Therefore I despise myself, and I repent in dust and ashes.”

7 After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has.

8 So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, as My servant Job has.”

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer.

10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions.

11 All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.

12 So the LORD blessed Job’s latter days more than his first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.

13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters.

14 He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch.

15 No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers.

16 After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

17 And so Job died, old and full of years.

1 ¶ Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

2 I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no thought can be withholden from thee.

3 Who [is] he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

6 Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.

7 ¶ And it was [so], that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me [the thing that is] right, as my servant Job [hath].

8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks 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 will I accept: lest I deal with you [after your] folly, in that ye have not spoken of me [the thing which is] right, like my servant Job.

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

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

11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.

12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.

14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.

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

16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, [even] four generations.

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

1 And Job answered the LORD, and said:

2 I know that thou art able to do all things, and no thought is hid from thee.

3 He is a rash man, which thinketh to hide his counsel. Therefore I confess that I have spoken unadvisedly, which is too high for me, and understand not.

4 Hear me then, let me speak; I will ask thee, teach me.

5 I have heard thee with mine ears; mine eye also now beholdeth thee.

6 I will repent and do penance in dust and ashes.

7 And when the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, he said unto Eliphaz of Theman, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken rightly of me, as my servant Job hath spoken.

8 Take therefore seven bullocks and seven rams, and go unto my servant Job, and offer burnt offerings for you, and let my servant Job pray for you. For I will look upon him, and not let you see how ye have done folly: for ye have not spoken rightly of me, as my servant Job hath spoken.

9 Then Eliphaz of Theman, and Bildad of Shuah, and Zophar of Naamah, went and did as the LORD had said unto them. And the LORD looked upon Job.

10 And the LORD turned the prison of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the LORD gave unto Job two times as much as he had.

11 And all his brethren came unto him, and all his sisters, and all that knew him before, and did eat with him in his house, and bowed themselves to him, and comforted him for all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him. And every man gave him a goodly penny, and a golden headband.

12 And the LORD blessed Job more abundantly afterward than before: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand asses.

13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.

14 And the name of the first was Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, and the name of the third Keren-hapuch.

15 And there were not found such fair damsels in all the earth as the daughters of Job. And their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.

16 And Job lived after this an hundred and forty years, and saw children and children's children unto the fourth generation.

17 And Job died old and full of life.
