| 42:1 |
Then Job answered the LORD:
|
| 42:2 |
'I know that thou canst do all things, and that no purpose of thine can be thwarted.
|
| 42:3 |
Who is this that 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, and I will speak;I will question you, and you declare to me.'
|
| 42:5 |
I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee;
|
| 42:6 |
therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.'
|
| 42:7 |
After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eli'phaz the Te'manite: 'My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends;for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
|
| 42:8 |
Now therefore take 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 his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly;for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.'
|
| 42:9 |
So Eli'phaz the Te'manite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Na'amathite went and did what the LORD had told them;and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.
|
| 42:10 |
And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends;and the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
|
| 42:11 |
Then came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and ate bread with him in his house;and they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him;and each of them gave him a piece of money and a ring of gold.
|
| 42:12 |
And the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning;and he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
|
| 42:13 |
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
|
| 42:14 |
And he called the name of the first Jemi'mah;and the name of the second Kezi'ah;and the name of the third Ker'en-hap'puch.
|
| 42:15 |
And in all the land there were no women so fair as Job's daughters;and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.
|
| 42:16 |
And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations.
|
| 42:17 |
And Job died, an old man, and full of days.
