Job’s Repentance and Restoration

1Then Job answered the Lord, and said,

2I know that You can do every thing, and that no thought can be withheld from You.

3Who is he that hides counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

4Hear, I beseech You, and I will speak: I will demand of You, and declare You to me.   beg

5I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye sees You.

6Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.   therefore; despise

7And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends: for youp have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job has.

8Therefore take to youp now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselvesp a burned offering; and My servant Job shall pray for youp: for him will I accept: lest I deal with youp after yourp folly, in that youp have not spoken of Me the thing which is right, like My servant Job.

9So 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.

10And 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.   restored the fortunes

11Then came there to 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.   consoled

12So 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.

13He had also seven sons and three daughters.

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

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

16After this lived Job a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.

17So Job died, being old and full of days.
