Job
42:1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
42:2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be
withholden from thee.
42:3 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.
42:4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and
declare thou unto me.
42:5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth
thee.
42:6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
42:7 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.
42:8 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.
42:9 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.
42:10 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.
42:11 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.
42:12 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.
42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second,
Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
42:15 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.
42:16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and
his sons' sons, even four generations.
42:17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
