1. Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
2. I know that you can do everything, and that no thought can be withheld from you.
3. Who is he that hides counsel without knowledge?
4. Hear, I ask you, and I will speak: I will question you, and you declare unto me.
5. I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye sees you.
6. Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
7. And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite,
8. Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that you have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
9. So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
10. And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11. Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they consoled him, and comforted him over all the trouble that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
12. So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
13. He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14. And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15. And in all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16. After this lived Job a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17. So Job died, being old and full of days.
