Job 42

42:1And undertaking, Job says to the lord,

42:2I know that in all things you are able, and nothing is powerless to you.

42:3For who is the one hiding you counsel, and sparing words, and imagines to hide you? And who announces to me things which I knew not, great and wonderful, things which I had no knowledge?

42:4But hear me, O lord! for I also shall speak. And I will ask you, and you teach me!

42:5Hearing indeed in my ear, I heard of you formerly; but now my eye sees you.

42:6Therefore I treated myself as worthless, and I was melted away; and I esteem myself earth and ashes.

42:7And it came to pass after the lord speaking all these words to Job, the lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, You sinned and your two friends, for you spoke not anything before me true, as my attendant Job.

42:8And now, take seven calves, and seven rams, and go to my attendant Job! and he shall offer a yield offering for you, for in no way shall I receive of his face, for but on account of him I would have destroyed you. For you did not speak true concerning my attendant Job.

42:9And they went -- Eliphaz the Temanite, and Baldad the Shuhite, and Sophar the Minean. And they went as the lord ordered them, and he dismissed their sin because of Job.

42:10And the lord increased Job. And of his making a vow and because of being his friends he forgave to them the sin. And the lord gave double, as much as was Job's before, by doubling.

42:11And all his brothers and his sisters heard all the things coming to pass to him. And came to him even all as many as knew him at first. And eating and drinking with him, they comforted him. And they wondered upon all which the lord brought upon him. And they each gave to him one ewe-lamb, and a four-drachma piece of unmarked gold.

42:12And the lord blessed the latter end of Job than the former. And his cattle was -- ten thousand four thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand teams of oxen, a thousand female grazing donkeys.

42:13And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.

42:14And he called the first, Day, and the second, Keziah, and the third, Amalthaia's Horn.

42:15And there were not found according to the daughters of Job better than they among the places under heaven. And their father gave to them an inheritance among the brethren.

42:16And Job lived after the calamity a hundred forty years. And Job saw his sons, and the sons of his sons, to the fourth generation.

42:17And Job came to an end an old man and full of days.
