42:1 | Then Job answered the LORD, and said, |
42:2 | I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no thought can be withheld from thee. |
42:3 | Who [is] he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that which I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. |
42:4 | Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me. |
42:5 | I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye seeth thee. |
42:6 | Therefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes. |
42:7 | And it was [so], that after the LORD had spoken these words to 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]. |
42:8 | Therefore take to you now seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer 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. |
42:9 | 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. |
42:10 | 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. |
42:11 | Then came there to him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house: and they mourned with 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. |
42:12 | 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 female donkeys. |
42:13 | He had also seven sons and three daughters. |
42:14 | And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch. |
42:15 | 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. |
42:16 | After this Job lived an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, [even] four generations. |
42:17 | So Job died, [being] old and full of days. |
