Then Job answered
the LORD
and said
,
"I know that aYou can
do all
things
, And that no
purpose
of Yours can be thwarted
.
`Who is this
that ahides
counsel
without
knowledge
?' "Therefore
I have declared
that which I did not understand
, Things
btoo
wonderful
for me, which I did not know
."
`Hear, now
, and I will speak
; I will aask
You, and You instruct
me.'
"I have aheard of You by the hearing
of the ear
; But now
my beye
sees
You;
Therefore I retract
, And I repent
in dust
and ashes
."
It came about after
the LORD
had spoken
these
words
to Job
, that the LORD
said
to Eliphaz
the Temanite
, "My wrath
is kindled
against you and against your two
friends
, because
you have not spoken
of Me what is right
aas My servant
Job
has.
"Now therefore, take
for yourselves aseven
bulls
and seven
rams
, and go
to My servant
Job
, and offer
up a bburnt
offering
for yourselves, and My servant
Job
will cpray
for you. dFor I will 1accept
him so
that I may not do
with you according to your folly
, because
you have not spoken
of Me what is right
, as My servant
Job
has."
So Eliphaz the Temanite
and Bildad
the Shuhite
and Zophar
the Naamathite
went
and did
as the LORD
told
them; and the LORD
1accepted
Job
.
The LORD arestored
the fortunes
of Job
when he prayed
for his friends
, and the LORD
increased
all
that Job
had twofold
.
Then all his abrothers
and all
his sisters
and all
who had known
him before
came
to him, and they ate
bread
with him in his house
; and they bconsoled
him and comforted
him for all
the adversities
that the LORD
had brought
on him. And each
one
gave
him one
1piece
of money
, and each
a ring
of gold
.
aThe LORD blessed
the latter
days of Job
more
than
his beginning
; band he had
14,000
sheep
and 6,000
camels
and 1,000
yoke
of oxen
and 1,000
female
donkeys
.
aHe had seven
sons
and three
daughters
.
He named the first
Jemimah
, and the second
Keziah
, and the third
Keren-happuch
.
In all the land
no
women
were found
so fair
as Job's
daughters
; and their father
gave
them inheritance
among
their brothers
.
After this
, Job
lived
140
years
, and saw
his sons
and his grandsons
, four
generations
.
aAnd Job died
, an old
man
and full
of days
.
