Then Job
answered the Lord, and said,
02 I know that thou canst do every thing, and
that no thought can be withholden from thee.
03 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.
04 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will
demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
05 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the
ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
06 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust
and ashes.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
