* Then answered Job unto the Lord , and said , * I acknowledge that thou art able to do every thing , and that no deep plan of thine can be restrained . * Who is he that dareth to conceal counsel without knowledge ? Truly I have spoken of what I understood not , of things too wonderful for me , which I knew not . * Oh do but hear , and I will indeed speak : I will ask of thee , and do thou inform me . * I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear ; but now my eye hath seen thee . * Therefore I reject , and repent ; because I am dust and ashes . * And it came to pass , after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job , that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Themanite , My wrath is kindled against thee , and against thy two friends ; because ye have not spoken of me properly , like my servant Job . * And now take unto yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams , and go to my servant Job , and offer up a burnt –offering in your behalf ; and my servant Job shall pray for you ; for him alone will I receive favorably , so as not to deal with you after your folly ; because ye have not spoken of me properly , like my servant Job . * Then went Eliphaz the Themanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Zophar the Na ’amathite , and did in accordance with what the Lord had spoken to them : and the Lord received Job in favor . * And the Lord brought back the captivity of Job , when he prayed in behalf of his friends ; and the Lord increased all that Job had had twofold . * And then came unto him all his brothers , and all his sisters , and all that had been of his acquaintance before , and ate bread with him in his house ; and they condoled with him , and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him ; and they gave him , every one , a kessitah , and every one an earring of gold . * And the Lord 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 . * He had also seven sons and three daughters . * And he called the name of the first Jemimah ; and the name of the second , Keziah ; and the name of the third , Keren –happuch . * And there were not found such handsome women as the daughters of Job in all the land ; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers . * And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years : and he saw his sons , and his sons ’ sons , even four generations . * Then died Job , being old and full of days .
