1 |
Then Job answered the LORD, and said, |
2
| I know that thou canst 1do every thing, and that no
thought can be withholden from thee.
1
Gen 18:14,
Jer 32:17,
Matt 19:26
|
3 |
Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I
understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. |
4 |
Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of 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 | Wherefore 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 turned the captivity of Job, 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 they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat 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 she asses. |
13 |
He had also seven sons and three daughters. |
14 | And he called the name of the first,
Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; 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 inheritance among their brethren. |
16 |
After this lived Job an 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. |
