Then
Job answered the
LORD and
said,

"I
know that You
can do
all things, And that
no purpose of Yours can be
thwarted.

'Who is
this that
hides counsel without knowledge?'
"Therefore I have
declared that which I did not
understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not
know."

Therefore * I

It
came about
after the
LORD had
spoken these words to
Job, that the
LORD said to
Eliphaz the
Temanite, "My
wrath is
kindled against you and against your
two friends,
because you have not
spoken of Me what is
right as My
servant Job has.

"Now therefore,
take for yourselves
seven bulls and
seven rams, and
go to My
servant Job, and
offer up a
burnt offering for yourselves, and My
servant Job will
pray for you. For I will
accept * him
so that I may not
do with you according to your
folly,
because you have not
spoken of Me what is
right, as My
servant Job has."

So
Eliphaz the
Temanite and
Bildad the
Shuhite and
Zophar the
Naamathite went and
did as the
LORD told them; and the
LORD accepted * Job.

The
LORD restored the
fortunes of
Job when he
prayed for his
friends, and the
LORD increased all that
Job had

Then
all his
brothers and
all his
sisters and
all who had
known him
before came to him, and they
ate bread with him in his
house; and they
consoled him and
comforted him for
all the
adversities that the
LORD had
brought on him. And
each one gave him
one piece of
money, and
each a
ring of
gold.

The
LORD blessed the
latter days of
Job more than his
beginning; and he
had 14,000 * * sheep and
6,000 * camels and
1,000 yoke of
oxen and
1,000 female donkeys.

In
