Job 42
Job's Confession and
Acceptance |
1 |
Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
|
2 |
I know that thou canst do every thing,
|
and that no thought can be withholden from
thee. |
|
|
3 |
Who is he that hideth counsel
without knowledge? Job. 38.2
|
Therefore have I uttered that I understood
not; |
things too wonderful for me, which I knew
not. |
|
|
4 |
Hear, I beseech thee, and I will
speak:
|
I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. Job.
38.3 |
|
|
5 |
I have heard of thee by the hearing of
the ear;
|
but now mine eye seeth
thee: |
|
|
6 |
wherefore I abhor myself,
|
and repent in dust and ashes.
|
|
|
7 |
And it was so, that after the
LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the
LORD said to El'iphaz the Te'manite, My wrath
is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have
not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
|
8 |
Therefore take unto you now seven
bullocks 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 him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly,
in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right,
like my servant Job.
|
9 |
So El'iphaz the Te'manite and Bildad the
Shuhite and Zophar the Na'amathite went, and did according as
the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
|
The Restoration of
Job's Prosperity |
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. Job. 1.1-3
|
11 |
Then came there unto him all his
brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his
acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and
they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the
LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave
him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
|
12 |
So 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.
|
13 |
He had also seven sons and three
daughters.
|
14 |
And he called the name of the first,
Jemi'ma; and the name of the second, Kezi'a; and the name of the
third, Keren-hap'puch.
|
15 |
And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them
inheritance among their brethren.
|
16 |
After this lived Job a hundred and forty
years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four
generations.
|
17 |
So Job died, being old and full of
days.
