Job’s Confession

Then Job answered the LORD and said,

2 “I know that aYou can do all things,And that no plan is impossible for You.3 Who is this who aconceals advice without knowledge?’Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,Things btoo wonderful for me, which I do not know.4 Please listen, 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, sitting on dust and ashes.”
God Is Displeased with Job’s Friends

It came about 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, because you have not spoken of Me what is trustworthy, 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 1accept him so as not to do with you as your foolishness deserves, because you have not spoken of Me what is trustworthy, as My servant Job has. So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD told them; and the LORD 1accepted Job.

God Restores Job’s Fortunes

10 The LORD also arestored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the LORD increased double all that Job had. 11 Then all his abrothers, all his sisters, and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they bsympathized with him and comforted him for all the adversities that the LORD had brought on him. And each one gave him a 1piece of money, and each a ring of gold. 12 aThe LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; band he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys. 13 aHe also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 He named the first Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch. 15 In all the land no women were found as beautiful as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them inheritances among their brothers. 16 After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations. 17 aAnd Job died, an old man and full of days.
