Job's Confession and Acceptance
1Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
2I know that thou canst do every thing,
and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
3 #
Job 38.2. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge?
Therefore have I uttered that I understood not;
things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 #
Job 38.3. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak:
I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
5I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear;
but now mine eye seeth thee:
6wherefore I abhor myself,
and repent in dust and ashes.
7And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to El´iphaz the Te´manite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath. 8Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job. 9So El´iphaz the Te´manite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Na´amathite went, and did according as the Lord commanded them: the Lord also accepted Job.
The Restoration of Job's Prosperity
10 #
Job 1.1-3. And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had 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 bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. 12So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. 13He had also seven sons and three daughters. 14And he called the name of the first, Jemi´ma; and the name of the second, Kezi´a; and the name of the third, Keren–hap´puch. 15And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. 16After this lived Job a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. 17So Job died, being old and full of days.

Job 42
42
1Then Job answered the Lord. 2“I know you can do anything. No one can prevent you doing what you want. 3You asked,#42:3. Implied. Job in this verse and the next is referring back to what God previously said. ‘Who is this who questions my wisdom by talking so ignorantly?’ I was speaking about things I didn't understand—things too wonderful for me to know. 4You told me,#42:4. Implied. ‘Listen to me, I am going to speak. I am going to question you, and you must answer me.’ 5Before, I had only heard about you, but now I've seen you for myself. 6That is why I'm sorry for what I said,#42:6. Or “reject,” “retract.” and I repent in dust and ashes.”
7After the Lord had finished speaking to Job he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends because you have not told the truth about me,#42:7. Or “said of me what is right.” as my servant Job did. 8So take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job, and you shall offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray on your behalf and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your foolishness, because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.” 9So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord commanded them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.
10The Lord restored Job's prosperity when he prayed for his friends, and gave him twice as much as he had before. 11Then all his brothers and sisters and friends he'd previously known came and ate with him at his home. They showed him sympathy and comforted him because of all the trouble#42:11. Literally, “evil.” the Lord had caused him. Each one of them gave him money and a gold ring. 12The Lord blessed the last part of Job's life more than the first part. Now he owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. 13Job also had seven sons and three daughters. 14Job called the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch. 15Nowhere in all the land were there women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and Job gave them the same inheritance as their brothers. 16Job lived 140 years after this, seeing his children, and grandchildren, in fact four generations. 17Then Job died at an old age, having lived a very full life.
