Job 42
1
Then Job answered YHWH, and said,
2
I know that you can do all things, And that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
3
Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which
I understood not, Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4
Hear, I beseech you, and I will speak; I will demand of you, and declare you to me.
5
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear; But now mine eye sees you:
6
Wherefore I abhor [myself], And repent in dust and ashes.
7
And it was so, that, after YHWH had spoken these words to Job, YHWH said to Eliphaz
the Temanite, My anger 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.
8
Now therefore, take to you 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, that I deal not with you after your folly; for you have not
spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
9
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and
did according as YHWH commanded them: and YHWH accepted Job.
10
And YHWH turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: and YHWH gave
Job twice as much as he had before.
11
Then came there to 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 concerning all the evil that YHWH had brought upon
him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.
12
So YHWH 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
she-asses.
13
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14
And he called the name of the first, Jemimah: and the name of the second, Keziah;
and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
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
And after this Job lived a 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. Book I Psalm 1
