Job 42

1 Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

Then Job responded to Yahweh, and said: —

2 I know that thou can do all things, and that no purpose of thine can be restrained.

I know that, all things, thou canst do, and that no purpose can be withholden from thee.

3 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 did not know.

Who is it that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore, have I declared, but not understood, things too wonderful for me, which I could not know.

4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak, I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me.

Hear thou, I pray thee, and, I, will speak, I will ask thee, and inform thou me.

5 I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee.

By the hearing of the ear, had I heard thee, but, now, mine own eye, hath seen thee.

6 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

For this cause, I tremble and repent, on dust and ashes.

7 And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, Jehovah 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 has.

And it came to pass, after Yahweh had spoken these words unto Job, that Yahweh, said unto Eliphaz the Temanite, Kindled is mine anger against thee and against thy two friends, for ye have not spoken concerning me the thing that is right, like my servant Job.

8 Now therefore, take to you seven bullocks 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 him I will accept, that I not deal with you after your folly. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

Now, therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go unto my servant Job, and ye shall offer up an ascending-sacrifice in your own behalf, and, Job my servant, shall pray over you, —for, him, will I accept, that I may not deal out to you disgrace, because ye have not spoken concerning me the thing that is right, like my servant Job.

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did according as Jehovah commanded them, and Jehovah accepted Job.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto them, —and Yahweh accepted Job.

10 And Jehovah turned back the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends. And Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.

And, Yahweh himself, turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends, —and Yahweh increased all that Job had possessed, unto twice as much.

11 Then there came to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him. Each man also gave him a piece of money, and each one a ring of gold.

Then came unto him all his brethren and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they did eat bread with him in his house, —and shewed sympathy with him and comforted him, over all the calamity which Yahweh had brought upon him, —and they gave him, every one a weight of money, and every one, a ring of gold.

12 So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.

And, Yahweh, blessed the latter end of Job, more than his beginning, —and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.

And he came to have seven sons, and three daughters;

14 And he called the name of the first, Jemimah, and the name of the second, Keziah, and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

and he called the name of the first Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, —and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

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 brothers.

And there were found no women so fair as the daughters of Job, in all the land, —and their father gave them an inheritance, in the midst of their brethren.

16 And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

And Job lived, after this, a hundred and forty years, —and saw his sons and his sons’ sons, four generations.

17 So Job died, being old and full of days.

So Job died, old and satisfied with days.
