Job
Job.42
[1] Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
[2] I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no
thought can be withholden from thee.
[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.
[4] Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand
of thee, and declare thou unto me.
[5] I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but
now mine eye seeth thee.
[6] Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and
ashes.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[13] He had also seven sons and three daughters.
[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.
[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] After this lived Job an 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.
