Job 42

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 Then Job answered the LORD and said:

2 "I know that Thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withheld from Thee.

3 `Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge?' Therefore have I uttered what I understood not, things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

4 `Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak; I will question thee, and declare thou unto Me.'

5 I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth Thee.

6 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."

7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD 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.

8 Therefore take unto you now 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, lest I deal with you after your folly in that ye have not spoken of Me the thing which is right, like My servant Job."

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did according as the LORD commanded them. The LORD also accepted Job.

10 And the LORD released Job from captivity when he prayed for his friends. Also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

11 Then came there unto him all his brethren and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they bemoaned him and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him. Every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.

12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand sheasses.

13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.

14 And he called the name of the first Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Kerenhappuch.

15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.

16 After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his sons and his sons' sons, even four generations.

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

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Then Job answered the LORD,

2 "I know that you can do everything and that your plans are unstoppable.

3 "[You said,] 'Who is this that belittles my advice without having any knowledge [about it]?' Yes, I have stated things I didn't understand, things too mysterious for me to know.

4 "[You said,] 'Listen now, and I will speak. I will ask you, and you will teach me.'

5 I had heard about you with my own ears, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.

6 That is why I take back what I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry."

7 After the LORD had said those things to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz from Teman, "I'm very angry with you and your two friends because you didn't speak what is right about me as my servant Job has done.

8 So take seven young bulls and seven rams. Go to my servant Job, and make a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you. Then I will accept his prayer not to treat you as godless fools. After all, you didn't speak what is right about me as my servant Job has done."

9 Then Eliphaz of Teman, Bildad of Shuah, and Zophar of Naama went and did what the LORD had told them to do. And the LORD accepted Job's prayer.

10 After Job prayed for his friends, the LORD restored Job's prosperity and gave him twice as much [as he had before].

11 Then all his brothers and sisters and everyone who had previously known him came to him. They ate with him at his house, sympathized with him, and comforted him for all the evil the LORD had brought to him. Each one gave him some money and a gold ring.

12 The LORD blessed the latter years of Job's life more than the earlier years. He had 14,000 sheep and goats, 6,000 camels, 2,000 oxen, and 1,000 donkeys.

13 He also had seven sons and three daughters.

14 He named the first [daughter] Jemimah, the second Cassia, and the third Keren Happuch.

15 Nowhere in the whole country could be found women who were as beautiful as Job's daughters. Their father gave them and their brothers an inheritance.

16 Job lived 140 years after this. He saw his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

17 Then at a very old age, Job died.
