Job 42

1 Then Iob answered the Lord, and sayd,

Then answered Job unto the Lord, and said,

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

I acknowledge that thou art able to do every thing, and that no deep plan of thine can be restrained.

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 dareth to conceal [thy] counsel without knowledge? Truly I have spoken of what I understood not, of 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.

Oh do but hear [me], and I will indeed speak: I will ask of thee, and do thou inform me.

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

I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye hath seen thee.

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

Therefore I reject [what I have said], and repent; because I am 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 came to pass, after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Themanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.

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.

And now take unto yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a burnt-offering in your behalf; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him alone will I receive favorably, so as not to deal with you after your folly; because ye have not spoken of me properly, 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.

Then went Eliphaz the Themanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Zophar the Na'amathite, and did in accordance with what the Lord had spoken to them: and the Lord received Job in favor.

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 the Lord brought back the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends; and the Lord increased all that Job had had twofold.

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.

And then came unto him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house; and they condoled with him, and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and they gave him, every one, a kessitah, 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.

And the Lord 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-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 Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; 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 there were not found such handsome women as the daughters of Job in all the land; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

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

And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years: and he saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

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

Then died Job, being old and full of days.
