Then Job answered Jehovah and said, |
Job 42:2 |
I know that You can do all things / And that no purpose of Yours can be restrained. |
Job 42:3 |
Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? / Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, / Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. |
Job 42:4 |
Hear now, and I will speak; / I will ask of You, and You shall inform me. |
Job 42:5 |
I had heard of You by the hearing of the ear, / But now my eye has seen You; |
Job 42:6 |
Therefore I abhor [myself,] and I repent / In dust and ashes. |
Job 42:7 |
And after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My anger is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken concerning Me that which is right, as My servant Job has. |
Job 42:8 |
Now therefore take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer them as a burnt offering for yourselves. And My servant Job will pray for you; for I will accept him, so that I do not deal with you [according to your] folly; for you have not spoken concerning Me that which is right, as My servant Job has. |
Job 42:9 |
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as Jehovah told them; and Jehovah accepted Job. |

Job 42:11 |
And all his brothers and all his sisters and all his previous acquaintances came to him and ate bread with him in his house. And they consoled and comforted him for all the misfortune that Jehovah had brought upon him. And each gave to him a piece of money, and each, a gold ring. |
Job 42:12 |
Thus Jehovah blessed Job's latter end more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep and six thousand camels and a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand female donkeys. |

And he named the first Jemimah, and the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch. |

And after this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; and he saw his children and his grandchildren, [even] four generations. |
Job 42:17 |
And Job died, old and full of days. |
