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