1 T hen Job said to the Lord,

And Job answereth Jehovah and saith: --

2 I know that You can do all things, and that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained or thwarted.

Thou hast known that all things Thou art able, And not withheld from Thee is device:

3 W ho is this that darkens and obscures counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

`Who this, hiding counsel without knowledge?' Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful for me, and I know not.

4 H ear, I beseech You, and I will speak; I will demand of You, and You declare to me.

`Hear, I pray thee, and I -- I do speak, I ask thee, and cause thou me to know.'

5 I had heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You.

By the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee.

6 T herefore I loathe and abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes.

Therefore do I loathe, And I have repented on dust and ashes.

7 A fter the Lord had spoken the previous words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job has.

And it cometh to pass after Jehovah's speaking these words unto Job, that Jehovah saith unto Eliphaz the Temanite, `Burned hath Mine anger against thee, and against thy two friends, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

8 N ow therefore take 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 I will accept that I deal not with you after your folly, in that you have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job has.

And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

9 S o Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord commanded them; and the Lord accepted.

And they go -- Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite -- and do as Jehovah hath spoken unto them; and Jehovah doth accept the face of Job.

10 A nd the Lord turned the captivity of Job and restored his fortunes, when he prayed for his friends; also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

And Jehovah hath turned the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and Jehovah doth add all that Job hath -- to double.

11 T hen there came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they sympathized with him and comforted him over all the calamities that the Lord had brought upon him. Every man also gave him a piece of money, and every man an earring of gold.

And come unto him do all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him, and they gave to him each one kesitah, and each one ring of gold.

12 A nd the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had 14, 000 sheep, 6, 000 camels, 1, 000 yoke of oxen, and 1, 000 female donkeys.

And Jehovah hath blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he hath fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

13 H e had also seven sons and three daughters.

And he hath seven sons and three daughters;

14 A nd he called the name of the first Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch.

and he calleth the name of the one Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, and the name of the third Keren-Happuch.

15 A nd in all the land there were no women so fair as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

And there have not been found women fair as the daughters of Job in all the land, and their father doth give to them an inheritance in the midst of their brethren.

16 A fter this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his sons’ sons, even to four generations.

And Job liveth after this a hundred and forty years, and seeth his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations;

17 S o Job died, an old man and full of days.

and Job dieth, aged and satisfied days.
