Job 42

1And Job answereth Jehovah and saith: --

1And Job said in answer to the Lord,

1Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

2Thou hast known that <FI>for<Fi> all things Thou art able, And not withheld from Thee is <FI>any<Fi> device:

2I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.

2I know that thou canst do all things, And that no purpose of thine can be restrained.

3`Who <FI>is<Fi> this, hiding counsel without knowledge?' Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful for me, and I know not.

3Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.

3Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not, Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

4`Hear, I pray thee, and I--I do speak, I ask thee, and cause thou me to know.'

4Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.

4Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

5By the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee.

5Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.

5I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now mine eye seeth thee:

6Therefore do I loathe <FI>it<Fi> , And I have repented on dust and ashes.

6For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

6Wherefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.

7And it cometh to pass after Jehovah's speaking these words unto Job, that Jehovah saith unto Eliphaz the Temanite, `Burned hath Mine anger against thee, and against thy two friends, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

7And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.

7And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

8And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

8And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.

8Now therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept, that I deal not with you after your folly; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

9And they go--Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite--and do as Jehovah hath spoken unto them; and Jehovah doth accept the face of Job.

9And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.

9So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as Jehovah commanded them: and Jehovah accepted Job.

10And Jehovah hath turned <FI>to<Fi> the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and Jehovah doth add <FI>to<Fi> all that Job hath--to double.

10And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.

10And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.

11And come unto him do all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him, and they gave to him each one kesitah, and each one ring of gold.

11And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.

11Then came there unto 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 concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.

12And Jehovah hath blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he hath fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

12And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

12So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

13And he hath seven sons and three daughters;

13And he had seven sons and three daughters.

13He had also seven sons and three daughters.

14and he calleth the name of the one Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, and the name of the third Keren-Happuch.

14And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch;

14And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

15And there have not been found women fair as the daughters of Job in all the land, and their father doth give to them an inheritance in the midst of their brethren.

15And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers.

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.

16And Job liveth after this a hundred and forty years, and seeth his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations;

16And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

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

17and Job dieth, aged and satisfied <FI>with<Fi> days.

17And Job came to his end, old and full of days.

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