1 Then Iob aunswered the Lord, and saide: Then Job answered the LORD and said: Then Job replied to the LORD:
2 I know that thou hast power ouer all thinges, and that there is no thought hid vnto thee. “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
3 For who can keepe his owne counsaile so secrete but it shalbe knowen? Therefore haue I spoken that I vnderstoode not, euen the thinges that are to wonderfull for me, and passe myne vnderstanding. ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. You 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 O hearken thou vnto me also, and let me speake: aunswere vnto the thing that I wyll aske thee. ‘Hear, and I will speak; I will question you, and you make it known to me.’ “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’
5 I haue heard of thee by the hearing of the eare, but nowe myne eye seeth thee. I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
6 Wherefore I geue myne owne selfe the blame, and take repentaunce in the dust and asshes. therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
7 Now when the Lorde had spoken these wordes vnto Iob, it came to passe that the Lorde saide to Eliphas the Themanite: I am displeased with thee, and thy two friendes: for ye haue not spoken of me the thyng that is right, lyke as my seruaunt Iob hath done. After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. After 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 Therefore take you now seuen oxen, and seuen rammes, and go to my seruaunt Iob, and offer vp for your selues a burnt offring, and my seruaunt Iob shall pray for you: him wyll I accept, and not deale with you after your foolishnesse, in that ye haue not spoken of me the thing which is right, lyke as my seruaunt Iob hath done. Now therefore take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” So 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 So Eliphas the Themanite, and Bildad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite, went and did according as the Lorde commaunded them: the Lorde also accepted the person of Iob, So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD had told them, and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer. So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer.
10 And the Lorde tourned the captiuitie of Iob when he prayed for his friendes: Yea the Lorde gaue Iob twyse as much as he had afore. And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.
11 And then came there vnto him all his brethren, all his sisters, and all they that had ben of his acquaintaunce afore, and did eate bread with him in his house, and had compassion on him, and comforted him ouer all trouble that the Lorde had brought vpon him: euery man also gaue him a certaine summe of money, and a iewell of golde. Then came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him. And each of them gave him a piece of money and a ring of gold. All 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 So the Lorde blessed the last dayes of Iob more then the first: for he had fourteene thousand sheepe, sixe thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses: And the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning. And he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. The 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 He had seuen sonnes also, and three daughters. He had also seven sons and three daughters. And he also had seven sons and three daughters.
14 The first daughter called he Iemima, the second Kezia, and the third Kerenhapuch. And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch. The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch.
15 In al the land were no women found so faire as the daughters of Iob: and their father gaue them inheritaunce among their brethren. And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job’s daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers. Nowhere 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 After this liued Iob an hundred and fourtie yeres: so that he sawe his children, and his childrens children into the fourth generation. And after this Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, four generations. After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
17 And so Iob dyed, being olde, and of a perfect age. And Job died, an old man, and full of days. And so Job died, an old man and full of years.
