1. Then Job answered the Lord:
|
1. Then Job H347 answered H6030 H853 the LORD H3068 , and said H559 ,
|
|
2. "I know that you can do all things and that no plan of yours can be ruined.
|
2. I know H3045 that H3588 thou canst do H3201 every H3605 thing , and that no H3808 thought H4209 can be withheld H1219 from H4480 thee.
|
|
3. You asked, 'Who is this that made my purpose unclear by saying things that are not true?' Surely I spoke of things I did not understand; I talked of things too wonderful for me to know.
|
3. Who H4310 is he H2088 that hideth H5956 counsel H6098 without H1097 knowledge H1847 ? therefore H3651 have I uttered H5046 that I understood H995 not H3808 ; things too wonderful H6381 for H4480 me , which I knew H3045 not H3808 .
|
|
4. You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak. I will ask you questions, and you must answer me.'
|
4. Hear H8085 , I beseech thee H4994 , and I H595 will speak H1696 : I will demand H7592 of thee , and declare H3045 thou unto me.
|
|
5. My ears had heard of you before, but now my eyes have seen you.
|
5. I have heard H8085 of thee by the hearing H8088 of the ear H241 : but now H6258 mine eye H5869 seeth H7200 thee.
|
|
6. So now I hate myself; I will change my heart and life. I will sit in the dust and ashes."
|
6. Wherefore H5921 H3651 I abhor H3988 myself , and repent H5162 in H5921 dust H6083 and ashes H665 .
|
|
7. After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job did.
|
7. And it was H1961 so , that after H310 the LORD H3068 had spoken H1696 H853 these H428 words H1697 unto H413 Job H347 , the LORD H3068 said H559 to H413 Eliphaz H464 the Temanite H8489 , My wrath H639 is kindled H2734 against thee , and against thy two H8147 friends H7453 : for H3588 ye have not H3808 spoken H1696 of H413 me the thing that is right H3559 , as my servant H5650 Job H347 hath .
|
|
8. Now take seven bulls and seven male sheep, and go to my servant Job, and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will listen to his prayer. Then I will not punish you for being foolish. You have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job did."
|
8. Therefore take H3947 unto you now H6258 seven H7651 bullocks H6499 and seven H7651 rams H352 , and go H1980 to H413 my servant H5650 Job H347 , and offer up H5927 for H1157 yourselves a burnt offering H5930 ; and my servant H5650 Job H347 shall pray H6419 for H5921 you: for H3588 H518 him H6440 will I accept H5375 : lest H1115 I deal H6213 with H5973 you after your folly H5039 , in that H3588 ye have not H3808 spoken H1696 of H413 me the thing which is right H3559 , like my servant H5650 Job H347 .
|
|
9. So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did as the Lord said, and the Lord listened to Job's prayer.
|
9. So Eliphaz H464 the Temanite H8489 and Bildad H1085 the Shuhite H7747 and Zophar H6691 the Naamathite H5284 went H1980 , and did H6213 according as H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H1696 H413 them : the LORD H3068 also accepted H5375 H6440 H853 Job H347 .
|
|
10. After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord gave him success again. The Lord gave Job twice as much as he had owned before.
|
10. And the LORD H3068 turned H7725 H853 the captivity H7622 of Job H347 , when he prayed H6419 for H1157 his friends H7453 : also the LORD H3068 gave H3254 Job H347 H853 twice H4932 as much as he had before H3605 H834 .
|
|
11. Job's brothers and sisters came to his house, along with everyone who had known him before, and they all ate with him there. They comforted him and made him feel better about the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave Job a piece of silver and a gold ring.
|
11. Then came H935 there unto H413 him all H3605 his brethren H251 , and all H3605 his sisters H269 , and all H3605 they that had been of his acquaintance H3045 before H6440 , and did eat H398 bread H3899 with H5973 him in his house H1004 : and they bemoaned H5110 him , and comforted H5162 him over H5921 all H3605 the evil H7451 that H834 the LORD H3068 had brought H935 upon H5921 him : every man H376 also gave H5414 him a piece of money H7192 H259 , and every one H376 an H259 earring H5141 of gold H2091 .
|
|
12. The Lord blessed the last part of Job's life even more than the first part. Job had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand teams of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
|
12. So the LORD H3068 blessed H1288 H853 the latter end H319 of Job H347 more than his beginning H4480 H7225 : for he had H1961 fourteen H702 H6240 thousand H505 sheep H6629 , and six H8337 thousand H505 camels H1581 , and a thousand H505 yoke H6776 of oxen H1241 , and a thousand H505 she asses H860 .
|
|
13. Job also had seven sons and three daughters.
|
13. He had H1961 also seven H7658 sons H1121 and three H7969 daughters H1323 .
|
|
14. He named the first daughter Jemimah, the second daughter Keziah, and the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
|
14. And he called H7121 the name H8034 of the first H259 , Jemima H3224 ; and the name H8034 of the second H8145 , Kezia H7103 ; and the name H8034 of the third H7992 , Keren H7163 -happuch.
|
|
15. There were no other women in all the land as beautiful as Job's daughters. And their father Job gave them land to own along with their brothers.
|
15. And in all H3605 the land H776 were no H3808 women H802 found H4672 so fair H3303 as the daughters H1323 of Job H347 : and their father H1 gave H5414 them inheritance H5159 among H8432 their brethren H251 .
|
|
16. After this, Job lived one hundred forty years. He lived to see his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
|
16. After H310 this H2063 lived H2421 Job H347 a hundred H3967 and forty H705 years H8141 , and saw H7200 H853 his sons H1121 , and H853 his sons H1121 ' sons H1121 , even four H702 generations H1755 .
|
|
17. Then Job died; he was old and had lived many years.
|
17. So Job H347 died H4191 , being old H2205 and full H7649 of days H3117 .
