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? 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. 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 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. 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 Elip­haz the Te­man­ite and Bil­dad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naa­math­ite went, and did ac­cord­ing as the LORD com­mand­ed them: the LORD also ac­cept­ed Job. 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. 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, Jemi­ma; and the name of the sec­ond, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren­hap­puch. 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 an 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.
