Job 约伯记42

 
42Then Job replied to the Lord :
2"I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted¹.
3You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?' Surely I spoke² of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.
4"You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.'
5My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
6Therefore I despise myself and repent³ in dust and ashes."
7After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
8So now take seven bulls and seven rams⁴ and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly⁵. You have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has."
9So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.
10After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before.
11All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought upon him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.
12The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke⁶ of oxen and a thousand donkeys.
13And he also had seven sons and three daughters.
14The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch.
15Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.
16After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
17And so he died, old and full of years.
