Job Chapter 42

¹Then Job answered ForeverOne, ²"I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.

³You asked, 'Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?' therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn't know.

⁴You said, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.' ⁵I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.

⁶Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." ⁷After ForeverOne had spoken these words to Job, ForeverOne said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

⁸Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls 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 I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has." ⁹So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what ForeverOne commanded them, and ForeverOne accepted Job.

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

¹¹Then came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that ForeverOne had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.

¹²So ForeverOne blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.

¹³He had also seven sons and three daughters.

¹⁴He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.

¹⁵In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

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

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