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 canst do every thing, And that no purpose of thine can be hindered.

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 he that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Thus have I uttered what I understood not; Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not:

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

Hear thou, then, I beseech thee, and I will speak! I will ask thee, and do thou instruct me!

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

I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now hath mine eye seen thee.

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

Wherefore 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 when Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as hath my servant Job.

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.”

Take ye, therefore, seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a burnt-offering, and my servant Job shall pray for you; for to him alone will I have regard; that I deal not with you according to your folly. For ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as hath my servant Job.”

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 as Jehovah commanded them; and Jehovah had regard to 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 the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends, and Jehovah gave him 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 came to him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and ate bread with him in his house; and condoled with him, and comforted him over all the evil which Jehovah had brought upon him; and every one gave him a piece of money [[a kesita]], and every 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.

Thus Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than the beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

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 Jemima, of the second Kezia, and of the third Kerenhappuch.

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 an inheritance among their brethren.

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

And Job lived after this 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.

Then Job died, being old and satisfied with days.
