JOB ยท Chapter 42
42:1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
42:2 I know that you can do every thing, and that no thought can be
withheld from you.
42:3 Who is he that hides counsel without knowledge? therefore have
I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew
not.
42:4 Hear, I plead to you, and I will speak: I will demand of you,
and declare you unto me.
42:5 I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye
sees you.
42:6 Wherefore I detest myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
42:7 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
you, and against your two friends: for all of you have not spoken of me
the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
42:8 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 all of you have not spoken of me the thing
which is right, like my servant Job.
42:9 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.
42:10 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.
42:11 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.
42:12 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.
42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of
the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
42:15 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.
42:16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his
sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
42:17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
