“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, Kerenhappuch. 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.” (Job
42:1-17 AV)
