1 ¶ Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

2 I know that you can do every thing, and that nothing you plan can be thwarted.

3 Who am I but one who obscures your purpose without understanding? I have spoken about things that I did not understand; things too wonderful for me, that I knew nothing about.

4 You said listen now and I will speak: I will question you, and you will answer me.

5 I had heard about you from what I was told: but now my eyes have seen you.

6 Therefore I am ashamed of myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

7 ¶ And after the LORD had said those things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My anger is kindled against you, and against your two friends: because you did not tell the truth about me, as my servant Job did.

8 Therefore now take seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job will pray for you: for I will accept his prayer: and not deal with you as your folly deserves, for you have not spoken the truth about me, like my servant Job has.

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did as the LORD had told them: and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer.

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

11 All of his brothers, sisters, and former acquaintances came to him, and ate with him at his home: and they sympathized with him, and comforted him because of all the evil that the LORD had let come upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and an earring of gold.

12 So the LORD blessed the last years of Job more than the first: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.

13 He also had seven sons and three daughters.

14 And he named the first daughter, Jemima; and the second, Kezia; and the third, Keren-happuch.

15 And there were no women in all the land as beautiful as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance with their brothers.

16 After this Job lived for one hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his grandsons, even to the fourth generation.

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