1 ¶ Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

And Job answereth Jehovah and saith: --

2 I know that thou canst do every thing and that there is no thought hidden from thee.

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

3 W ho is he that hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore, I have denounced that which 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, now, and I will speak; I will ask of thee, and thou shalt cause me to know.

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

5 W ith my ears I had heard thee; but now my eyes see thee.

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

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

Therefore do I loathe, And I have repented on 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 has been kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken by me in uprightness, as my slave 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 T herefore, take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my slave Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my slave Job shall pray for you; for only because I will accept him, I shall not deal with you according to your folly, in that ye have not spoken by me in uprightness, like my slave Job.

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 according as the LORD commanded them; and the LORD accepted Job.

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 ¶ 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.

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 all his brethren came unto him and all his sisters and all those that had been of his acquaintance before and ate bread with him in his house; and they condoled him and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him; each one also gave him an ewe, and 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 S o 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.

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 also had seven sons and three daughters.

And he hath seven sons and three daughters;

14 A nd he called the name of the first, Jemima, and the name of the second, Kezia, and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.

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 no women were found as beautiful as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

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 one hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even 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, being old and full of days.

and Job dieth, aged and satisfied days.
