| 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; no purpose of yours can be thwarted. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my plans 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] | 4"You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer 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 despise myself and repent in dust and ashes." |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7After the LORD had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken the truth 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 did what the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job's prayer. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the LORD had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12The LORD blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand 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] | 14The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17And so Job died, an old man and full of years. |
