Confesión y restauración de Job

Entonces Job respondió al SEÑOR, y dijo:

2 Yo sé que tú puedes hacer todas las cosasa,y que ningún propósito tuyo puede ser estorbado.3 «¿Quién eseste que oculta el consejo sin entendimientoa?».Por tanto, he declarado lo que no comprendía,cosas demasiado maravillosas para míb, que yo no sabía.4 «Escucha ahora, y hablaré;te preguntaré y tú me instruirása».5 He sabido de tisolo de oídasa,pero ahora mis ojos te venb.6 Por eso me retracto,y me arrepiento en polvo y ceniza.

Y sucedió que después que el SEÑOR habló estas palabras a Job, el SEÑOR dijo a Elifaz temanita: Se ha encendido mi ira contra ti y contra tus dos amigos, porque no habéis hablado de mí lo que es recto, como mi siervo Joba. Ahora pues, tomad siete novillos y siete carnerosa, id a mi siervo Job y ofreced holocaustob por vosotros, y mi siervo Job orará por vosotrosc. Porque ciertamente a él atenderé1 para no hacer con vosotros conforme a vuestra insensatezd, porque no habéis hablado de mí lo que es recto, como mi siervo Job. Y Elifaz temanita y Bildad suhita y Zofar naamatita fueron e hicieron tal como el SEÑOR les había dicho; y el SEÑOR aceptó a1 Job.

10 Y el SEÑOR restauró el bienestar de Job cuandoeste oró por sus amigos; y el SEÑOR aumentó al doble todo lo que Job había poseídoa. 11 Entonces todos sus hermanos y todas sus hermanas y todos los que le habían conocido antesa, vinieron a él y comieron pan con él en su casa; se condolieron de él y lo consolaronb por todo el mal que el SEÑOR había traído sobre él. Cada uno le dio una moneda de plata1, y cada uno un anillo de oro. 12 El SEÑOR bendijo los últimos días de Job más que los primeros1a; y tuvo catorce mil ovejas, seis mil camellos, mil yuntas de bueyes y mil asnasb. 13 Y tuvo siete hijos y tres hijasa. 14 Llamó a la primera Jemina, a la segunda Cesia y a la tercera Keren-hapuc. 15 Y en toda la tierra no se encontraban mujeres tan hermosas como las hijas de Job; y su padre les dio herencia entre sus hermanos. 16 Después de esto vivió Job ciento cuarenta años, y vio a sus hijos y a los hijos de sus hijos, hasta cuatro generaciones. 17 Y murió Job, anciano y lleno de díasa.

Job’s Confession

Then Job answered the LORD and said,

2 “I know that aYou can do all things,And that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained.3 You said to me ‘Who is this that adarkens and obscures counsel by words without knowledge?’Therefore I now see I have rashly uttered that which I did not understand,Things btoo wonderful for me, which I did not know. Job 38:24 ‘Hear, please, and I will speak;I will aask You, and You instruct and answer me.’5 “I had aheard of You only by the hearing of the ear,But now my spiritual beye sees You.6 “Therefore I retract my words and hate myselfAnd I repent in dust and ashes.”
God Displeased with Job’s Friends

It came about that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD 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, aas My servant Job has. Now therefore, take for yourselves aseven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a bburnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will cpray for you. dFor I will accept him and his prayer so that I may not deal with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me the thing that 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 told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer.

God Restores Job’s Fortunes

10 The LORD arestored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. Deut 30:1-3; Ps 126:1, 2 11 Then all his abrothers and sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they bconsoled him and comforted him over all the distressing adversities that the LORD had brought on him. And each one gave him a piece of money, and each a ring of gold. 12 And athe LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; bfor he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. Job 1:3 13 aHe had seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch. 15 In all the land there were found no women so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers. 16 After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations. 17 aSo Job died, an old man and full of days. James 5:11
