¹Then Job answered the Lord and said,

²“I know that you can do everything,

And no plan of action is inaccessible to you.

³You asked,

‘Who is this who hides counsel

Without knowledge?’

Because I gave an exposition,

But I do not have understanding.

These things are too wondrous for me,

And I do not know about them.

⁴Hear me, I pray,

And I will speak.

You said,

‘I will ask you,

And you can answer me.’

⁵I heard you by hearing of the ear,

But now my eye has seen you.

⁶For this reason I despise myself,

And I repent in dust and ashes.”

⁷And it came to pass, after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger is kindled against you, and against your two companions, for you have not spoken what is right about me, like my servant Job. ⁸And now, take for yourselves seven bulls, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer them as a burnt offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will pray for you. For contrariwise I will accept him, so that I do not deal with you according to your folly, for you have not spoken about me what is right, as my servant Job has.” ⁹So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite departed and acted according to what the Lord had told them, and the Lord restored Job. ¹⁰And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friend, and the Lord restored everything of Job's – double. ¹¹And all his brothers and all his sisters and all his previous acquaintances came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house, and they consoled him and comforted him over all the calamity that the Lord had brought on him, and each gave him one kesitah coin, and each gave one golden earring. ¹²And the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his former days, and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand she-asses. ¹³And he had seven sons and three daughters. ¹⁴And he called one Jemima, and the second one Keziah, and he called the third Keren-Happuch. ¹⁵And no women were found as beautiful as Job's daughters in all the land, and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers. ¹⁶And after this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and he saw his sons and his grandsons, to four generations. ¹⁷And Job died old and full of days.
