Job 42 - Tree of Life Version(TLV)

Job Retracts

1Job answered Adonai

and said:

2“I know You can do all things; no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.

3You ask, ‘Who is this, who darkens counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke without understanding, things too wonderful for me which I did not know.

4You said, ‘Hear now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will inform Me.’

5I had heard of You by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye has seen You.

6Therefore I despise myself, and repent on dust and ashes.”

Job Restored

7After Adonai

had spoken these words to Job, Adonai

said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken about Me what is right, like My servant Job has.

8So now, take for yourselves seven young bulls and seven rams and go to My servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept Job’s prayer and not deal with you according to your folly because you have not spoken correctly about Me, like My servant Job.”

9So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what Adonai

told them; and Adonai

accepted Job’s prayer.

10So Adonai

restored what Job had lost, after he prayed for his friends and Adonai

doubled everything that Job had before.

11Then all his brothers, all his sisters and everyone who had known him before, came to him and ate bread with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him for all the calamity that Adonai

had brought upon him. Each of them gave him a piece of money and a gold ring.

12So Adonai

blessed Job’s latter days more than at his beginning. He had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys.

13He also had seven sons and three daughters.

14He called the name of the first Jemimah, the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch.

15Nowhere in the land were there found women as beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.

16After this, Job lived 140 years; he saw his children and their children for four generations.

17And so Job died, old and full of days.
