1Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
2I know that 1thou canst do every thing, and that2ano thought can be withholden from thee.
31Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things 2too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4Hear, 1I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
5I have 1heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now 2mine eye seeth thee.
61Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in 2dust and ashes.
7¶ And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to 1Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not 2spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
8Therefore take unto you now 1seven bullocks and seven rams, and 2go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall 3pray for you: for ahim will I accept: lest I deal with you 4after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
9So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite 1went, and did according as the Lord commanded them: the Lord also accepted aJob.
10And the Lord1turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lordagave Job twice as much as he had before.
111Then 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 2bemoaned 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.
12So the Lord1blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had 2fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
131He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15And in all the land were no women found 1so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father 2gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16After this lived Job an 1hundred and forty years, and 2saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
