Job 42

6 The repentance of Job. 9 He prayeth for his friends. 12 His goods are restored double unto him. 13 His children’s age and death.
1.Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
2.I know that thou canst do all things, and that there is no thoght hid from thee.
3.Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I spoken that I understode not, even things to wonderful for me, and which I knewe not.
4.Heare, I beseche thee, and I wil speake: I wil demande of thee, and declare thou unto me.
5.I have heard of thee by the hearing of the eare, but now mine eye seeth thee.
6.Therefore I abhorre myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
7.¶ Now after that the Lord had spoken these wordes unto Job, the Lord also said unto Elipház the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me that thing that is right, like my servant Job.
8.Therefore take unto you now seven bullockes, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for your selves a burnt offring, and my servant Job shal pray for you: for I wil accept him, lest I shulde put you to shame, because ye have not spoken of me the thing, which is right, like my servant Job.
9.So Elipház the Temanite, and Bildád the Shuhite, and Zophár the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord had said unto them, and the Lord accepted Job.
10.¶ Then the Lord turned the captivitie of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twise so much as he had before.
11.Then came unto him all his brethern, and all his sisters, and all they that had bene of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house, and had compassion of him, and comforted him for all the evil, that the Lord had brought upon him, and everie man gave him a piece of money, and everie one an earing of gold.
12.So the Lord blessed the last dayes of Job more then the first: for he had fourtene thousand shepe, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13.He had also seven sonnes, and thre daughters.
14.And he called the name of one Jemimáh, and the name of the second Keziáh, and the name of the thirde Kerenhappúch. Job’s repentance. Job.
15.In all the land were no women founde so faire as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren,
16.And after this lived Job an hundreth and fourtie yeres, 3 generacions.
17.So Job dyed, being olde, and full of dayes.
