Job 42 — ULB
42Verse 1Then Job answered Yahweh and said,Verse 2“I know that you can do all things,
that no purpose of yours can be stopped.
Verse 3'Who is this who without knowledge conceals plans?'
Indeed, I have spoken things that I did not understand,
things too difficult for me to understand, which I did not know about.
Verse 4You said to me, 'Listen, now, and I will speak;
I will ask you things, and you will tell me.'
Verse 5I had heard about you by my ear's hearing,
but now my eye sees you.
Verse 6So I despise myself;
I repent in dust and ashes.”Verse 7It came about that after he had said these words to Job, Yahweh 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 done.Verse 8Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer, so that I may not deal with you after your folly. You have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has done.”Verse 9So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as Yahweh had commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.Verse 10When Job prayed for his friends, Yahweh restored his fortunes. Yahweh gave him twice as much as he had possessed before.Verse 11Then all Job's brothers, and all his sisters, and all who knew him before, came to him and ate food with him in his house. They showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the disasters that Yahweh had brought upon him, and each of them gave Job a piece of silver and a ring of gold.Verse 12Yahweh blessed the final end of Job's life more than the first; he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.Verse 13He also had seven sons and three daughters.Verse 14He named the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.Verse 15In all the land no women were found as beautiful as Job's daughters. Their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.Verse 16After this, Job lived 140 years; he saw his sons and his sons' sons, up to four generations.Verse 17Then Job died, being old and full of days.
