Job

42 Then Job said in reply to Jehovah:

 3 You said, ‘Who is this who is obscuring my counsel without knowledge?’+

 4 You said, ‘Please listen, and I will speak.

I will question you, and you inform me.’+

7 After Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, Jehovah said to Elʹi·phaz the Teʹman·ite:

“My anger burns against you and your two companions,+ for you have not spoken the truth about me+ as my servant Job has. 8 Now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job, and offer up a burnt sacrifice for yourselves. And my servant Job will pray for you.+ I will surely accept his request* not to deal with you according to your foolishness, for you have not spoken the truth about me as my servant Job has.”

9 So Elʹi·phaz the Teʹman·ite, Bilʹdad the Shuʹhite, and Zoʹphar the Naʹa·ma·thite went and did what Jehovah had told them to do. And Jehovah accepted Job’s prayer.

10 After Job had prayed for his companions,+ Jehovah removed Job’s tribulation+ and restored his prosperity.* Jehovah gave him double what he had before.+ 11 All his brothers and sisters and all his former friends+ came to him and ate a meal with him in his house. They sympathized with him and comforted him over all the calamity that Jehovah had allowed to come upon him. Each of them gave him a piece of money and a gold ring.

12 So Jehovah blessed the last part of Job’s life more than the beginning,+ and Job came to have 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 pairs of cattle, and 1,000 female donkeys.+ 13 He also came to have seven more sons and three more daughters.+ 14 He named the first daughter Je·miʹmah, the second Ke·ziʹah, and the third Kerʹen-hapʹpuch. 15 No women in all the land were as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.

16 After this Job lived for 140 years, and he saw his children and his grandchildren—four generations. 17 Finally Job died, after a long and satisfying life.*
