1 A nd Job answereth Jehovah and saith: --

Then Job answered the Lord and said,

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

“I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.

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

‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.”

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

‘Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me.’

5 B y the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee.

“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You;

6 T herefore do I loathe, And I have repented on dust and ashes.

Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes.” God Displeased with Job’s Friends

7 A nd 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.

It came about after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has.

8 A nd 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.

Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept him so that I may not do with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”

9 A nd 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.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job. God Restores Job’s Fortunes

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

The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord increased all that Job had twofold.

11 A nd 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.

Then all his brothers and all his sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversities that the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave him one piece of money, and each a ring of gold.

12 A nd 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.

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

13 A nd he hath seven sons and three daughters;

He had seven sons and three daughters.

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

He named the first Jemimah, and the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch.

15 A nd 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.

In all the land no women were found so fair as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

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

After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations.

17 a nd Job dieth, aged and satisfied days.
