1 A nd Job answereth Jehovah and saith: --

Then Job answered Yahweh,

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 restrained.

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

You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.

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

You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will 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 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 abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”

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 was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh 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.

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 to yourselves seven bulls 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 him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that 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 what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.

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.

Yahweh turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh 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 came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone 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.

So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.

13 A nd he hath seven sons and three daughters;

He had also 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 called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of 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 were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an 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 one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.

17 a nd Job dieth, aged and satisfied days.

So Job died, being old and full of days.
