Job 42 ¹Now Job answered Jehovah, saying: ²``I know that you are omnipotent, and there is no thought concealed from you: ³Who is this who advises from the darkness or without knowledge? To wit I spoke, but I did not think. ``Things were hidden from me that I did not know: ⁴Hear, I beseech you, and I will speak. I ask you to instruct me. ⁵To a hearing ear your fame was told to me. Now, my eyes see you. ⁶After this I melt away. I do repent in dust and ashes.'' ⁷Then it came to pass, after Jehovah told to Job these words, that Jehovah spoke to Eliphaz (`Eliphaz' = `God of gold') the Temanite: ``My face is displeased in you and in your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right as has my prophet Job. ⁸At this time take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer them as burnt offerings for yourselves. My prophet Job will pray for you, seeing as I accept his face, that I may not be committing a folly with you, seeing as you have not spoken what is right about me as did my prophet Job.'' ⁹Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite now went and did as Jehovah said, and Jehovah lifted the face of Job [to pray]. ¹⁰Now Jehovah relieved the captive condition of Job in that he prayed for his friends, and Jehovah added even all that was Job's, to double the amount. ¹¹All of Job's brothers, all of his sisters, and all of those knowing him now came to see him. They ate with him in his house and rejoiced for him and consoled him over all the evil that Jehovah had let come upon him. Every one, they gave him a piece of silver, and every one a gold ring. ¹²So Jehovah blessed Job's future out of his beginning, and he came to have fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand teams of oxen, and a thousand she-asses. ¹³Plus, he came to have seven sons and three daughters. ¹⁴He called the first one by the name of Jemimah (`Jemimah' = `affectionate'). The name of second was Keziah (`Keziah' = `Cassia'). The third one was called by the name Keren-happuk (`Keren-happuk' = `horn of cosmetic'). ¹⁵There were not to be found women of beauty like Job's daughters anywhere in the whole earth, and their father gave an inheritance to them among their brothers. ¹⁶Job lived after this a hundred and forty years and saw sons and sons of sons, four generations. ¹⁷Then Job died, old and satisfied with days. © 2009 Ward Green.
