1 And Job answered the Lord, saying,

2 I know that Thou canst do all things, and that Thy purpose cannot be stopped.

3 Who is this that darkens Providence, understanding nothing? "Well, I talked about things that I did not understand, about things that were wonderful to me, which I did not know.

4 Hearken, I cried, and I will speak, and what I will ask you, explain to me.

5 I have heard of you with the ear of my ear; but now my eyes see Thee;

6 Therefore I deny and repent in dust and ashes.

7 And it came to pass, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, 'My wrath burneth against thee, and against thy two friends, because ye have not spoken of me as faithfully as my servant Job.'

8 Therefore take for yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer a sacrifice for yourselves; and my servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept only his face, so that I may not reject you, because you have not spoken of Me as faithfully as My servant Job.

9 And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Sabhaiite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had commanded them, and the Lord took the face of Job.

10 And the Lord restored the loss of Job, when he prayed for his friends; and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

11 Then all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, came to him, and ate bread with him in his house, and toiled with him, and comforted him for all the evil which the Lord had brought upon him, and gave him every one a casite, and a ring of gold.

12 And God blessed Job's last days more than the first: he had fourteen thousand flocks, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand donkeys.

13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.

14 And he called the name of the first Emima, the name of the second Cassia, and the name of the third Kerengappuch.
