Job 42

1 And Job answers YHWH and says:

Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

2 “You have known that [for] all things You are able, And no purpose is withheld from You.

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

3 [You said], Who [is] this hiding counsel without knowledge? Therefore, I have declared, and do not understand, Too wonderful for me, and I do not know.

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 Please hear, and I speak; [You said], I ask you, and you cause Me to know.

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

5 By the hearing of the ear I heard You, And now my eye has seen You.

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

6 Therefore I loathe [it], And I have sighed on dust and ashes.”

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

7 And it comes to pass after YHWH’s speaking these words to Job, that YHWH says to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger has burned against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken correctly concerning Me, like My servant Job.

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.

8 And now, take seven bullocks and seven rams for yourselves, and go to My servant Job, and you have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for yourselves; and Job My servant prays for you, for surely I accept his face, so as not to do folly with you, because you have not spoken correctly concerning Me, like My servant Job.”

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.

9 And they go—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite—and do as YHWH has spoken to them; and YHWH accepts the face of Job.

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

10 And YHWH has turned [to] the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and YHWH adds [to] all that Job has—to double.

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.

11 And all his brothers come to him, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him concerning all the calamity that YHWH had brought on him, and they each gave to him one kesitah, and each one ring of gold.

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.

12 And YHWH has blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he has fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and one thousand pairs of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

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.

13 And he has seven sons and three daughters;

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

14 and he calls the name of the first Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, 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 And there have not been found women [as] beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the land, and their father gives to them an inheritance in the midst of their brothers.

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.

16 And Job lives after this one hundred and forty years, and sees his sons, and his sons’ sons, four generations;

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

17 and Job dies, aged and satisfied [with] days.

So Job died, being old and full of days.
