1 Job’s Repentance and Restoration Then Job answered the Lord and said:
2 “I know that You Gen. 18:14; (Matt. 19:26; Mark 10:27; 14:36; Luke 18:27) can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.
3 You asked, Job 38:2 ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Ps. 40:5; 131:1; 139:6 Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4 Listen, please, and let me speak; You said, Job 38:3; 40:7 ‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’
5 “I have Job 26:14; (Rom. 10:17) heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You.
6 Therefore I Ezra 9:6; Job 40:4 abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.”
7 And so it was, after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.
8 Now therefore, take for yourselves Num. 23:1 seven bulls and seven rams, (Matt. 5:24) go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall Gen. 20:17; (James 5:15, 16;1 John 5:16) pray for you. For I will accept him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has. ”
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord commanded them; for the Lord had accepted Job.
10 Deut. 30:3; Ps. 14:7; 85:1–3; 126:1 And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job Is. 40:2 twice as much as he had before.
11 Then Job 19:13 all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been his acquaintances before, came to him and ate food with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversity that the Lord had brought upon him. Each one gave him a piece of silver and each a ring of gold.
12 Now the Lord blessed Job 1:10; 8:7; James 5:11 the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had Job 1:3 fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.
13 Job 1:2 He also had seven sons and three daughters.
14 And he called the name of the first Jemimah, the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-Happuch.
15 In all the land were found no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 After this Job Job 5:26; Prov. 3:16 lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations.
17 So Job died, old and Gen. 15:15; 25:8; Job 5:26 full of days.
