CLV(i)
1 Then Job answered Yahweh and said:
2 I know that You can do all things, And no plan of Yours can be thwarted.
3 Who is this who obscures counsel without knowledge? Wherefore I have professed ideas when I was not understanding, Things too marvelous for me, that I did not know.
4 Hearken now, and I myself shall speak; I shall ask of you, and you inform Me.
5 With the hearing of the ear I had heard of You, But now my eye sees You.
6 Therefore I sink down and repent On soil and ashes.
7 It came to pass after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job that Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite:My anger is hot against you and your two associates because you did not speak concerning Me what is rightly so as My servant Job has done.
8 Now take for yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams. Go to my servant Job, and offer up an ascent offering on behalf of yourselves. And Job, my servant, he shall pray for you. For then I shall lift up his face by not inflicting on you any disgrace. For you did not speak concerning Me what is rightly so as My servant Job has done.
9 So they went, Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, and they did just as Yahweh had spoken to them. And Yahweh lifted up Job's face.
10 Then Yahweh Himself turned back the captivity of Job when he prayed on behalf of his associates. And Yahweh added to all that Job had by a double portion.
11 All his brothers and all his sisters came to him and all his acquaintances from before, and they ate bread with him in his house. Then they condoled with him and comforted him over all the evil that Yahweh had brought upon him. Each of them gave to him one kesitah, and each, one pendant of gold.
12 Thus Yahweh Himself blessed the latter years of Job more than his beginning. He came to have a flock of fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand pair of oxen and a thousand jennies.
13 Also he came to have seven sons and three daughters.
14 He called the name of the first Jemimah, the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch.
15 Women so lovely as the daughters of Job were not found in the whole country. Their father gave them an allotment in the midst of their brothers.
16 Job lived after this a hundred and forty years. And he saw his sons and his sons sons to four generations.
17 Then Job died, old and satisfied with days.
