Chapter
42
Then Job answered Yahweh,
"I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
You asked, 'Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?' therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn't know.
You said, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.'
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls 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 I will accept her, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has."
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.
Yahweh turned the captivity of Job, when she prayed for her friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as she had before.
Then came there to her all her sisters, and all her brothers, and all those who had been of her acquaintance before, and ate bread with her in her house. They comforted her, and consoled her concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on her. Everyone also gave her a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than her beginning. She had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand male donkeys.
She had also seven daughters and three sons.
She called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
In all the land were no men found so beautiful as the sons of Job. Their mother gave them an inheritance among their sisters.
After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw her daughters, and her daughters' daughters, to four generations.
So Job died, being old and full of days.
