Job 42

And Job answered God and said, 2 “I know that you are able {to do} everything, and no plan is withheld from you. 3 ‘Who is this, concealing counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have declared, but I did not understand, {things} too wonderful for me, and I did not know. \* 4 ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will inform me.’ 5 With the hearing of my ear I had heard {about} you, but now my eye sees you. 6 Therefore I despise, and I repent in dust and ashes.” \*

And it happened, after God had spoken these words to Job, that God said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My nose burns against you and against the two of your friends, for you have not spoken about me what is right as my servant Job {has}.

So now take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. And Job my servant will pray for you; I will surely lift his face, lest I deal with you {according to your} folly. For you have not said what is right about me like my servant Job.”

And Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite {and} Zophar the Naamathite went and did as God had spoken to them, and God lifted the face of Job. \*

And God turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends, and God added {to} all that {was} to Job to double.

And all of his brothers and all of his sisters and all of the ones knowing him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house. And they consoled him and comforted him for all of the troubles that God had brought upon him, and they each gave one kesitah to him and each {gave} one earring of gold. \*

And God blessed the finish of Job more than his start. And it was to him 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys.

And it was to him seven sons and three daughters.

And he called the name of the first Jemimah and the name of the second Keziah and the name of the third Keren-Happuch. \*

And one was not found {among} women {as} beautiful as the daughters of Job in all of the land. And their father gave an inheritance to them in the midst of their brothers.

And Job lived 140 years after this, and he saw his sons and the sons of his sons, {to} four generations.

And Job died, old and full of days.
