1Job said:
2No one can oppose you,
because you have the power
to do what you want.
3You asked why I talk so much
when I know so little.
I have talked about things
that are far beyond
my understanding.
4You told me to listen
and answer your questions.
5I heard about you from others;
now I have seen you
with my own eyes.
6That's why I hate myself
and sit here in dust and ashes
to show my sorrow.
The Lord again blesses Job with health, wealth, and familyThe LORD corrects Job's friends7The LORD said to Eliphaz:
What my servant Job has said about me is true, but I am angry with you and your two friends for not telling the truth.
8So I want you to go over to Job and offer seven bulls and seven goats on an altar as a sacrifice to please me. After this, Job will pray, and I will agree not to punish you for your foolishness.
9Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar obeyed the LORD, and he answered Job's prayer.
A happy ending10After Job had prayed for his three friends, the LORD made Job twice as rich as he had been before.Job 1.1-3.
11Then Job gave a feast for his brothers and sisters and for his old friends. They expressed their sorrow for the suffering the LORD had brought on him, and they each gave Job some silver and a gold ring.
12The LORD now blessed Job more than ever; he gave him fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand pair of oxen, and a thousand donkeys.
13In addition to seven sons, Job had three daughters,
14whose names were Jemimah, Keziah, and Keren Happuch.
15They were the most beautiful women in that part of the world, and Job gave them shares of his property, along with their brothers.
16Job lived for another one hundred and forty years—long enough to see his great-grandchildren have children of their own—
17and when he finally died, he was very old.
