Chapter 42
001
Then Job answered Yahweh,
002
"I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
003
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.
004
You said, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.'
005
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
006
Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
007
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.
008
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."
009
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.
010
Yahweh turned the captivity of Job, when she prayed for her friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as she had before.
011
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.
012
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.
013
She had also seven daughters and three sons.
014
She called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
015
In all the land were no men found so beautiful as the sons of Job. Their mother gave them an inheritance among their sisters.
016
After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw her daughters, and her daughters' daughters, to four generations.
017
So Job died, being old and full of days.
