Job - Chapter 42

1And Job said in answer to the Lord, 2I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs. 3Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out. 4Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers. 5Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you. 6For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust. 7And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has. 8And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has. 9And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job. 10And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much. 11And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring. 12And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses. 13And he had seven sons and three daughters. 14And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch; 15And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers. 16And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. 17And Job came to his end, old and full of days.
