Noyes - Job - 42

42:1  Then Job answered Jehovah, and said:

42:2  I know that thou canst do every thing, And that no purpose of thine can be hindered.

42:3  Who is he that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Thus have I uttered what I understood not; Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not:

42:4  Hear thou, then, I beseech thee, and I will speak! I will ask thee, and do thou instruct me!

42:5  I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now hath mine eye seen thee.

42:6  Wherefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.

42:7  And when Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: "My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as hath my servant Job.

42:8  Take ye, therefore, seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a burnt-offering, and my servant Job shall pray for you; for to him alone will I have regard; that I deal not with you according to your folly. For ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as hath my servant Job."

42:9  So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as Jehovah commanded them; and Jehovah had regard to Job.

42:10  And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends, and Jehovah gave him twice as much as he had before.

42:11  Then came to him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and ate bread with him in his house; and condoled with him, and comforted him over all the evil which Jehovah had brought upon him; and every one gave him a piece of money [a kesita], and every one a ring of gold.

42:12  Thus Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than the beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

42:13  He had also seven sons, and three daughters.

42:14  And he called the name of the first Jemima, of the second Kezia, and of the third Kerenhappuch.

42:15  And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.

42:16  And Job lived after this a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.

42:17  Then Job died, being old and satisfied with days.
