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. Nothing can put a stop to Your plans.

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 words of wisdom without much learning?’ I have said things that I did not understand, things too great 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 answer Me.’

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

I had heard of You only 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.

So I hate the things that I have said. And I put dust and ashes on myself to show how sorry I am.” Job Is Richer Now

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.

After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger burns against you and 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.

So now take seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job. Give a burnt gift for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will hear his prayer and not punish you for being foolish, 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, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, did what the Lord told them. And the Lord heard Job’s prayer.

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 returned to Job all the things that he had lost, when he prayed for his friends. The Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

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 sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and ate bread with him in his house. They showed pity and comforted him for all the trouble the Lord had brought upon him. Each one gave him one piece of money and a gold ring.

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 brought more good to Job in his later years than in his beginning. He had 14, 000 sheep, 6, 000 camels, 2, 000 oxen, and 1, 000 female donkeys.

13 A nd he hath seven sons and three daughters;

He had seven sons and three daughters also.

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 gave the first the name Jemimah, 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.

No women were found in all the land who were as beautiful as Job’s daughters. And their father gave them a share 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, his grandsons, and even their sons.

17 a nd Job dieth, aged and satisfied days.

Then Job died, an old man having lived many days.
