42:001

Then Job answered HaShem, and said

42:002

I know that Thou canst do every thing, and that no purpose can be withholden from Thee

42:003

Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not, things too wonderful for me, which I knew not

42:004

Hear, I beseech Thee, and I will speak; I will demand of Thee, and declare Thou unto me

42:005

I had heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth Thee

42:006

Wherefore I abhor my words, and repent, seeing I am dust and ashes

42:007

And it was so, that after HaShem had spoken these words unto Job, HaShem said to Eliphaz the Temanite: '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

42:008

Now therefore, take unto you 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, that I do not unto you aught unseemly; for ye have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

42:009

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as HaShem commanded them; and HaShem accepted Job

42:010

And HaShem changed the fortune of Job, when he prayed for his friends; and HaShem gave Job twice as much as he had before

42:011

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 concerning all the evil that HaShem had brought upon him; every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold

42:012

So HaShem blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses

42:013

He had also seven sons and three daughters

42:014

And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch

42:015

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

42:016

And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations

42:017

So Job died, being old and full of days
