Job 42

1 Then Job replied to the LORD:

Then Job answered YHWH,

2 “I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

"I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.

3 You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

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 did not know.

4 You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’

You said, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.'

5 My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You.

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

6 Therefore I retract my words, and I repent in dust and ashes.”

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

7 After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has.

It was so, that after YHWH had spoken these words to Job, YHWH 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.

8 So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, 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 him, 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."

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s request.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what YHWH commanded them, and YHWH accepted Job.

10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions.

YHWH turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. YHWH gave Job twice as much as he had before.

11 All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.

Then came there 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. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that YHWH had permitted on him. And each of them gave him a kesitah and a gold ring.

12 So the LORD blessed Job’s latter days more than his first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.

So YHWH blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.

13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

14 He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch.

He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.

15 No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers.

In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

16 After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, to four generations.

17 And so Job died, old and full of years.

So Job died, being old and full of days.
