Job Repents in Dust and Ashes

Then Job answered Yahweh and said,

2 “I know that aYou can do all things,And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.3 Who is this that ahides counsel without knowledge?’Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,Things btoo marvelous for me, which I did not know.4 Hear, now, and I will speak;I will aask You, and You make me know.’5 “I have aheard of You by the hearing of the ear;But now my beye sees You;6 Therefore I reject myself,And I repent in dust and ashes.”
Yahweh’s Anger Towards Job’s Friends

Now it happened after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, that Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger burns against you and against your two friends because you have not spoken of Me what is right aas My servant Job has. So now, 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 1accept him so that I may not do 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 Yahweh told them; and Yahweh 1accepted Job.

Yahweh Restores Job’s Fortunes

10 And Yahweh arestored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and Yahweh increased all that Job had twofold. 11 Then all his abrothers and all his 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 for all the calamity that Yahweh had brought on him. And each one gave him one 1qesitah, and each a ring of gold. 12 aAnd Yahweh blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; band he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 pairs of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 aHe also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he named the first Jemimah and the second Keziah and the third Keren-happuch. 15 Now in all the land no women were found so beautiful as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers. 16 And after this, Job lived 140 years and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations. 17 aThen Job died, an old man and full of days.

Then Job answered the LORD and said,

2 “I know that aYou can do all things,And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.3 Who is this that ahides counsel without knowledge?’Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,Things btoo wonderful for me, which I did not know.4 Hear, now, and I will speak;I will aask You, and You instruct me.’5 “I have aheard of You by the hearing of the ear;But now my beye sees You;6 Therefore I retract,And I repent in dust and ashes.”

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.”
