Job 42
1 Job submits himself to Jehovah. 7 Jehovah, preferring Job's cause, makes his friends to submit and accepts him. 16 Job's age and death.
1¶ And Job answered Jehovah and said:
2I know that You can do all things, and not any purpose is withheld from You.
3Who is this hiding counsel without knowledge? Therefore I declared, but did not understand things too wonderful for me; yea, I did not know.
4I pray, Listen, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You will make me know.
5I have heard of You by hearing of the ear, but now my eye has seen You;
6Therefore, I despise myself, and I have repented on dust and ashes.
7¶ And it happened, after Jehovah spoke these words to Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My anger burns against you and your two friends. For You have not spoken what is right about Me, as My servant Job.
8And now take for you seven young bulls and seven rams and go to My servant Job, and cause to go up a burnt offering for yourselves. And My servant Job will pray for you. Surely I will lift up his face so as not to do with you according to your folly, in that you have not spoken what is right about Me, as My servant Job.
9And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as Jehovah spoke to them. And Jehovah lifted the face of Job.
10¶ And when he prayed for his friends, Jehovah turned the captivity of Job; and Jehovah added to Job all which had been to him, to double.
11And all his brothers and all his sisters came to him; and all knowing him before. And they ate bread with him in his house and consoled him and comforted him as to all the evil that Jehovah had brought on him. And they each man gave him one piece of money, and each man a ring of gold.
12And Jehovah blessed the latter days of Job more than the earlier days. And to him were fourteen thousand sheep and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
13And he had seven sons and three daughters.
14And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15And in all the land there were not found women as beautiful as Job's daughters. And their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.
16After this Job lived a hundred and forty years. And he saw his sons, and his grandsons, even four generations.
17And Job died, being old and full of days.
