| 42:1 | Then Job answered the LORD and said: |
| 42:2 | "I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose [of Yours] can be withheld from You. |
| 42:3 | [You asked], `Who [is] this who hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. |
| 42:4 | Listen, please, and let me speak; [You said], `I will question you, and you shall answer Me.' |
| 42:5 | "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You. |
| 42:6 | Therefore I abhor [myself], And repent in dust and ashes." |
| 42:7 | And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me [what is] right, as My servant Job [has]. |
| 42:8 | "Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, 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 him, lest I deal with you [according to your] folly; because you have not spoken of Me [what is] right, as My servant Job [has]." |
| 42:9 | So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD commanded them; for the LORD had accepted Job. |
| 42:10 | And the LORD restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. |
| 42:11 | Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been his acquaintances before, came to him and ate food with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. Each one gave him a piece of silver and each a ring of gold. |
| 42:12 | Now the LORD blessed the latter [days] of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys. |
| 42:13 | He also had seven sons and three daughters. |
| 42:14 | And he called the name of the first Jemimah, the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third KerenHappuch. |
| 42:15 | In all the land were found no women [so] beautiful as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers. |
| 42:16 | After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren [for] four generations. |
| 42:17 | So Job died, old and full of days. |
