Job 42

42Then Job answered the Lord, and said,

²I know that thou ^acanst do every thing,

And that ^||no ^bthought can be ^cwithholden from thee.

^3dWho is he that hideth counsel

Without knowledge?

Therefore have I uttered that I understood not;

^eThings too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

⁴Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak:

^fI will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

⁵I have heard of thee ^gby the hearing of the ear:

But now mine eye seeth thee.

^6hWherefore I abhor ⁱmyself, and repent

In ^kdust and ^klashes.

⁷And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to ^mEliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is ⁿright, as my servant Job hath. ⁸Therefore take unto you now ^oseven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and ^poffer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall ^qpray for you: for ^†him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is ⁿright, like my servant Job. ⁹So ^mEliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord commanded them: the Lord also accepted ^†Job. ¹⁰And the Lord ^rturned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord ^†gave Job ^stwice as much as he had before. ¹¹Then came there unto him all his ^tbrethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his ^tacquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they ^ubemoaned him, and ^ucomforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him ^xa piece of money, and every one an ^yearring of gold.

¹²So the Lord blessed ^zthe latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had ^afourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. ^13bHe had also seven sons and three daughters. ¹⁴And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch. ¹⁵And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and ^ctheir father gave them inheritance among their brethren. ¹⁶After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and ^dsaw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations. ¹⁷So Job died, being old and ^efull of days.
