Iyov 42
42
1Then Iyov answered Hashem, and said,
2I have da'as that Thou canst do all things, and that no purpose of Thine can be thwarted.
3Who is this that hideth etzah (counsel) without da'as? Therefore have I judged without understanding things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4Shema, I beseech Thee, and I will speak; I will ask of Thee, and declare Thou unto me.
5I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ozen, but now mine eye hath seen Thee.
6Therefore I abhor myself, and nichamti (I am sorry, I make teshuvah) in dust and ashes.
7And it was so, that after Hashem had spoken these words unto Iyov, Hashem said to Eliphaz the Temani, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken in reference to Me the thing that is nekhonah (correct), like Avdi Iyov hath.
8Therefore take unto you now seven bulls and seven rams, and go to Avdi Iyov, and offer up for yourselves olah (burnt offering); and Avdi Iyov shall pray for you; for him will I accept; lest I deal with you after your nevalah (folly), in that ye have not spoken in reference to Me the thing which is nekhonah (correct), like Avdi Iyov.
9So Eliphaz the Temani and Bildad the Shuchi and Tzophar the Na'amati went, and did according as Hashem commanded them. Hashem also accepted Iyov.
10And Hashem restored the fortunes of Iyov, when he prayed for his friends; also Hashem gave Iyov twice as much as he possessed before.
11Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat lechem with him in his bais; and they expressed sympathy with him, and comforted him over all the ra'ah that Hashem had brought upon him; every ish also gave him a kesitah, and every ish a ring of zahav.
12So Hashem blessed the acharit (latter end) of Iyov more than his reshit; for he had fourteen thousand tzon, and six thousand gemalim, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.
13He had also seven banim and shalosh banot.
14And he called the shem of the first, Yemimah, and the shem of the second, Ketziah, and the shem of the third, Keren-Hapukh.
15And in kol ha'aretz were no nashim found so fair as the banot Iyov; and their av gave them nachalah with their achim.
16After this lived Iyov an hundred and forty shanah, and saw his banim, and his banei banim, even arba'ah dorot.
17So Iyov died, being zaken and full of yamim.

Job’s Confession
1Then Job answered the Lord and said,
2“I know that You can do all things,
And that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained.
3“[You said to me] ‘Who is this that darkens and obscures counsel [by words] without knowledge?’
Therefore [I now see] I have [rashly] uttered that which I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. [Job 38:2]
4‘Hear, please, and I will speak;
I will ask You, and You instruct [and answer] me.’
5“I had heard of You [only] by the hearing of the ear,
But now my [spiritual] eye sees You.
6“Therefore I retract [my words and hate myself]
And I repent in dust and ashes.”
God Displeased with Job’s Friends
7It came about that 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, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has. 8Now 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 [and his prayer] so that I may not deal with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job has.” 9So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.
God Restores Job’s Fortunes
10The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. [Deut 30:1-3; Ps 126:1, 2] 11Then all his brothers and 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 over all the [distressing] adversities that the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave him a piece of money, and each a ring of gold. 12And the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. [Job 1:3] 13He had seven sons and three daughters. 14And he called the name of the first [daughter] Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch. 15In all the land there were found no women so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers. 16After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations. 17So Job died, an old man and full of days. [James 5:11]
