Job's
Confession |
|
|
 |
| Job 42:1 |
|
Then Job answered the LORD and said, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 42:2 |
|
"I know that You can do all things, And that
no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. |
| |
|
|
| Job 42:3 |
|
'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?'
"Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful
for me, which I did not know." |
| |
|
|
| Job 42:4 |
|
'Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask You,
and You instruct me.' |
| |
|
|
| Job 42:5 |
|
"I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear;
But now my eye sees You; |
| |
|
|
| Job 42:6 |
|
Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and
ashes." |
| |
|
|
| |
|
God Displeased with Job's Friends |
| |
|
|
| Job 42:7 |
|
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 right as My servant Job has. |
|
|
|
| Job 42:8 |
|
"Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls
and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves,
and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept 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." |
|
|
|
| Job 42:9 |
|
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. |
| |

God Restores Job's Fortunes |
|
|
|
| Job 42:10 |
|
The LORD restored the fortunes of Job when he
prayed for his friends, and the LORD increased all that Job had twofold. |
|
|
|
| Job 42:11 |
|
Then all his brothers 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 consoled him and comforted him for all the adversities that the LORD
had brought on him. And each one gave him one piece of money, and each a ring
of gold. |
|
|
|
| Job 42:12 |
|
The LORD blessed the latter days of Job more
than his beginning; and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 yoke of
oxen and 1,000 female donkeys. |
|
|
|
| Job 42:13 |
|
He had seven sons and three daughters. |
|
|
|
| Job 42:14 |
|
He named the first Jemimah, and the second Keziah,
and the third Keren-happuch. |
|
|
|
| Job 42:15 |
|
In all the land no women were found so fair
as Job's daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.
|
|
|
|
| Job 42:16 |
|
After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his
sons and his grandsons, four generations. |
|
|
|
| Job 42:17 |
|
And Job died, an old man and full of days. |
