Chapter
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, Keren-happuch.

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.
