Job 42
1 Then
Job answered the
LORD, and
said,
2 I
know that thou canst
do every thing, and that no
thought can be
withholden from thee.
3 Who is he that
hideth counsel without
knowledge? therefore have I
uttered that I
understood not; things too
wonderful for me, which I
knew not.
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will
speak: I will
demand of thee, and
declare thou unto me.
5 I have
heard of thee by the
hearing of the
ear: but now mine
eye seeth thee.
6 Wherefore I
abhor myself, and
repent in
dust and
ashes. 7 And it was so, that
after the
LORD had
spoken these
words unto
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.
8 Therefore
take unto you now
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 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. 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.
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.
11 Then
came there unto him all his
brethren, and all his
sisters, and all they that had been of his
acquaintance before, and did
eat bread with him in his
house: and they
bemoaned 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
earring of
gold. 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. 13 He had also
seven sons and
three daughters. 14 And he
called the
name of the
first, Jemima; and the
name of the
second, Kezia; and the
name of the
third, Kerenhappuch. 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. 16 After this
lived Job an
hundred and
forty years, and
saw his
sons, and his
sons' sons, even
four generations. 17 So
Job died, being
old and
full of
days.
