Job 42

1 Then Iob answered the Lord, and sayd,

Then Job answered YHWH, and said,

2 I knowe that thou canst doe all things, and that there is no thought hidde from thee.

I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.

3 Who is hee that hideth counsell without knowledge? therefore haue I spoken that I vnderstood not, euen things too wonderfull for me, and which I knew not.

Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

4 Heare, I beseech thee, and I will speake: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

5 I haue heard of thee by the hearing of the eare, but now mine eye seeth thee.

I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

6 Therefore I abhorre my selfe, and repent in dust and ashes.

Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

7 Now after that the Lord had spoken these wordes vnto Iob, ye Lord also said vnto Eliphaz ye Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for yee haue not spoken of me the thing that is right, like my seruant Iob.

And it was so, that after YHWH had spoken these words unto Job, YHWH 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.

8 Therefore take vnto you nowe seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes, and go to my seruant Iob, and offer vp for your selues a burnt offring, and my seruant Iob shall pray for you: for I wil accept him, least I should put you to shame, because ye haue not spoken of me the thing, which is right, like my seruant Iob.

Therefore take unto you now 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 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.

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord had saide vnto them, and the Lord accepted Iob.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as YHWH commanded them: YHWH also accepted Job.

10 Then the Lord turned the captiuitie of Iob, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gaue Iob twise so much as he had before.

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

11 Then came vnto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had bene of his acquaintance before, and did eate bread with him in his house, and had compassion of him, and comforted him for al the euil, that the Lord had brought vpon him, and euery man gaue him a piece of money, and euery one an earing of golde.

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that YHWH had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.

12 So the Lord blessed the last dayes of Iob more then the first: for he had foureteene thousand sheepe, and sixe thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand shee asses.

So YHWH 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 she asses.

13 He had also seue sonnes, and three daughters.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

14 And he called the name of one Iemimah, and the name of the seconde 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 In all the lande were no women found so faire as the daughters of Iob, and their father gaue them inheritaunce among their brethren.

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.

16 And after this liued Iob an hundreth and fourtie yeres, and sawe his sonnes, and his sonnes sonnes, euen foure generations.

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

17 So Iob dyed, being old, and full of dayes.

So Job died, being old and full of days.
