Chapter 42
- 42:1
- Then Job answered the LORD, and
said,
- 42:2
- I know that thou canst do every
thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
- 42:3
- 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.
- 42:4
- Hear, I beseech thee, and I will
speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
- 42:5
- I have heard of thee by the
hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
- 42:6
- Wherefore I abhor 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 thee, and against thy two friends: for ye
have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
- 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
ye 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.
