Chapter 42

Then Job answered⁴ the LORD, and said,⁴

I know¹ that thou canst⁴ do every [thing], and [that] no thought can be withholden¹¹ from thee.

Who [is] he that hideth⁵⁶ counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered⁵² that I understood⁴ not; things too wonderful¹² for me, which I knew⁴ not.

Hear,³ I beseech thee, and I will speak:¹⁷ I will demand⁴ of thee, and declare⁵⁴ thou unto me.

I have heard¹ of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth¹ thee.

Wherefore I abhor⁴ [myself], and repent⁸ in dust and ashes.

And it was [so], that after the LORD had spoken¹⁴ these words unto Job, the LORD said⁴ to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled¹ against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken¹⁴ of me [the thing that is] right,¹² as my servant Job [hath].

Therefore take³ unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go³ to my servant Job, and offer up⁵² for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray¹⁰¹ for you: for him will I accept:⁴ lest I deal² with you [after your] folly, in that ye have not spoken¹⁴ of me [the thing which is] right,¹² like my servant Job.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went,⁴ and did⁴ according as the LORD commanded¹⁴ them: the LORD also accepted^{4 6440} Job.

And the LORD turned¹ the captivity ⁷⁶²² of Job, when he prayed⁹⁹ for his friends: also the LORD gave⁵⁵ Job twice as much as he had before.

Then came⁴ there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance⁶ before, and did eat⁴ bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned⁴ him, and comforted¹⁷ him over all the evil that the LORD had brought⁵² upon him: every man also gave⁴ him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.

So the LORD blessed¹⁴ the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen ⁶²⁴⁰ thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

And he called⁴ the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.

And in all the land were no women found⁸ [so] fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave⁴ them inheritance among their brethren.

After this lived⁴ Job an hundred and forty years, and saw⁴ his sons, and his sons' sons, [even] four generations.

So Job died,⁴ [being] old and full of days.
