| 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 withheld from thee.
|
| 42:3 |
Who [is] he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that which I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
|
| 42:4 |
Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me.
|
| 42:5 |
I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now my 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 to 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 to you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer 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 to him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house: and they condoled with 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 ear-ring 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, Keren-happuch.
|
| 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 Job lived a 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.
