Job:42
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then Job answered Yahweh ,
and said ,
*
I know that you can do all things ,
And that no purpose of yours can be restrained .
*
Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge ?
Therefore I have uttered that which I didn '
t understand ,
Things too wonderful for me ,
which I didn '
t know .
*
Hear ,
I urge you ,
and I will speak ;
I will demand of you ,
and declare you to me .
*
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear ;
But now my eye sees you :
*
Therefore I abhor [
myself ],
And repent in dust and ashes .
*
And 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 companions ;
for you (
note :){+}(:
note )
have not spoken of me the thing that is right ,
as my slave Job has .
*
Now therefore ,
take for yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams ,
and go to my slave Job ,
and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering ;
and my slave Job will pray for you (
note :){+}(:
note );
for him I will accept ,
that I do not deal with you {+}
after your {+}
folly ;
for you {+}
have not spoken of me the thing that is right ,
as my slave Job has .
*
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went ,
and did according to as Yahweh commanded them :
and Yahweh accepted Job .
*
And Yahweh turned the captivity of Job ,
when he prayed for his companions :
and Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before .
*
Then there came 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 :
and they bemoaned him ,
and comforted him concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him :
every man also gave him a piece of money ,
and every one a ring of gold .
*
So Yahweh 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-donkeys .
*
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 in all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job :
and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers .
*
And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years ,
and saw his sons ,
and his sons '
sons , [
even ]
four generations .
*
So Job died ,
being old and full of days .
