< Job 42 >

1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
וַיַּעַן אִיּוֹב אֶת־יְהֹוָה וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2 I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no thought can be withheld from thee.
(ידעת) [יָדַעְתִּי] כִּי־כֹל תּוּכָל וְלֹֽא־יִבָּצֵר מִמְּךָ מְזִמָּֽה׃
3 Who [is] he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that which I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
מִי זֶה ׀ מַעְלִים עֵצָה בְּֽלִי ־ דָעַת לָכֵן הִגַּדְתִּי וְלֹא אָבִין נִפְלָאוֹת מִמֶּנִּי וְלֹא אֵדָֽע׃
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me.
שְֽׁמַֽע־נָא וְאָנֹכִי אֲדַבֵּר אֶשְׁאָלְךָ וְהוֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃
5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye seeth thee.
לְשֵֽׁמַע־אֹזֶן שְׁמַעְתִּיךָ וְעַתָּה עֵינִי רָאָֽתְךָ׃
6 Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.
עַל־כֵּן אֶמְאַס וְנִחַמְתִּי עַל־עָפָר וָאֵֽפֶר׃
7 And it was [so], that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD 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].
וַיְהִי אַחַר דִּבֶּר יְהֹוָה אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֶל־אִיּוֹב וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶל־אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּימָנִי חָרָה אַפִּי בְךָ וּבִשְׁנֵי רֵעֶיךָ כִּי לֹא דִבַּרְתֶּם אֵלַי נְכוֹנָה כְּעַבְדִּי אִיּֽוֹב׃
8 Therefore take to you now 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 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.
וְעַתָּה קְחוּ־לָכֶם שִׁבְעָֽה־פָרִים וְשִׁבְעָה אֵילִים וּלְכוּ ׀ אֶל־עַבְדִּי אִיּוֹב וְהַעֲלִיתֶם עוֹלָה בַּעַדְכֶם וְאִיּוֹב עַבְדִּי יִתְפַּלֵּל עֲלֵיכֶם כִּי אִם־פָּנָיו אֶשָּׂא לְבִלְתִּי עֲשׂוֹת עִמָּכֶם נְבָלָה כִּי לֹא דִבַּרְתֶּם אֵלַי נְכוֹנָה כְּעַבְדִּי אִיּֽוֹב׃
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
וַיֵּלְכוּ אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּימָנִי וּבִלְדַּד הַשּׁוּחִי צֹפַר הַנַּעֲמָתִי וַיַּעֲשׂוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אֲלֵיהֶם יְהֹוָה וַיִּשָּׂא יְהֹוָה אֶת־פְּנֵי אִיּֽוֹב׃
10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
וַיהֹוָה שָׁב אֶת־[שְׁבוּת] (שבית) אִיּוֹב בְּהִֽתְפַּֽלְלוֹ בְּעַד רֵעֵהוּ וַיֹּסֶף יְהֹוָה אֶת־כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר לְאִיּוֹב לְמִשְׁנֶֽה׃
11 Then came there to him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house: and they condoled with him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an ear-ring of gold.
וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלָיו כׇּל־אֶחָיו וְכׇל־אַחְיֹתָיו וְכׇל־יֹדְעָיו לְפָנִים וַיֹּאכְלוּ עִמּוֹ לֶחֶם בְּבֵיתוֹ וַיָּנֻדוּ לוֹ וַיְנַחֲמוּ אֹתוֹ עַל כׇּל־הָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר־הֵבִיא יְהֹוָה עָלָיו וַיִּתְּנוּ־לוֹ אִישׁ קְשִׂיטָה אֶחָת וְאִישׁ נֶזֶם זָהָב אֶחָֽד׃
12 So the LORD 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.
וַיהֹוָה בֵּרַךְ אֶת־אַחֲרִית אִיּוֹב מֵרֵֽאשִׁתוֹ וַֽיְהִי־לוֹ אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר אֶלֶף צֹאן וְשֵׁשֶׁת אֲלָפִים גְּמַלִּים וְאֶלֶף־צֶמֶד בָּקָר וְאֶלֶף אֲתוֹנֽוֹת׃
13 He had also seven sons, and three daughters.
וַֽיְהִי־לוֹ שִׁבְעָנָה בָנִים וְשָׁלוֹשׁ בָּנֽוֹת׃
14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
וַיִּקְרָא שֵׁם־הָאַחַת יְמִימָה וְשֵׁם הַשֵּׁנִית קְצִיעָה וְשֵׁם הַשְּׁלִישִׁית קֶרֶן הַפּֽוּךְ׃
15 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.
וְלֹא נִמְצָא נָשִׁים יָפוֹת כִּבְנוֹת אִיּוֹב בְּכׇל־הָאָרֶץ וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם אֲבִיהֶם נַחֲלָה בְּתוֹךְ אֲחֵיהֶֽם׃
16 After this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, [even] four generations.
וַיְחִי אִיּוֹב אַחֲרֵי־זֹאת מֵאָה וְאַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה (וירא) [וַיִּרְאֶה] אֶת־בָּנָיו וְאֶת־בְּנֵי בָנָיו אַרְבָּעָה דֹּרֽוֹת׃
17 So Job died, [being] old and full of days.
וַיָּמׇת אִיּוֹב זָקֵן וּשְׂבַע יָמִֽים׃
