1. 1Then Job answered the LORD and said,
2. 2"I know that you can do all things, and that no thought can be withheld from you.
3. 3Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken of things I did not understand — things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4. 4Listen, I pray, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.
5. 5I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
6. 6Therefore I abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes."
7. 7After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
8. 8So now, take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept him, so that I do not deal with you according to your folly, since you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has."
9. 9So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD commanded them, and the LORD accepted Job.
10. 10And the LORD turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11. 11Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all who had been of his acquaintance before came to him and ate bread with him in his house. They bemoaned him and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him. Each one also gave him a piece of money and each one an earring of gold.
12. 12So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
13. 13He also had seven sons and three daughters.
14. 14And he called the name of the first Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, and the name of the third Kerenhappuch.
15. 15And in all the land no women were found as fair as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16. 16After this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17. 17So Job died, being old and full of days.
