| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then Job replied to the LORD: |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’ |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Therefore I retract my words, and I repent in dust and ashes.” |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, as My servant Job has.” |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s request. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12So the LORD blessed Job’s latter days more than his first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13And he also had seven sons and three daughters. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17And so Job died, old and full of years. |
