- Then
Job answered the Lord and said:
- "I know that You can do everything,
and
that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You. (Matt. 19:26)
- You asked, 'Who is this who hides
counsel without knowledge?' (Job 38:2; Ps. 139:6)
- Listen, please, and let me speak;
You said, 'I will question you, and you shall answer Me.' (Job 38:3; Job 40:7)
- "I have heard of You by the hearing
of the ear, (Job 26:14)
but now my eyes see You.
- Therefore I abhor myself, and
repent in dust and ashes." (Ezra 9:6)
- 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.
- "Now therefore, take for yourselves
seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer up for
yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall 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."
- 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.
- And the Lord restored Job's losses
when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as
much as he had before. (Deut. 30:3; Is. 40:2)
- Then 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. (Job 19:13)
- Now the Lord blessed the latter
days of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand
sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand
female donkeys. (Job 1:3; James 5:11)
- He also had seven sons and three
daughters. (Job 1:2)
- And he called the name of the
first Jemimah, the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third
Keren-Happuch.
- 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.
- After this Job lived one hundred
and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four
generations. (Job 5:26)
- So Job died, old and full of
days. (Gen. 15:15;
Gen. 25:8)
