CHAPTER 42
Then Job answered the L
ORD
, and said,
2
I know that thou canst do every
thing,
and
that
no thought
can be withholden from thee.
3
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
Hear, I beseech
thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
5
I have heard of thee by
the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
6
Wherefore I abhor
myself,
and repent in dust
and ashes.
7
And it was
so,
that after the L
ORD
had spoken these words unto Job, the L
ORD
said to Eliphaz
the Temanite, 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.
8
Therefore 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.
9
So Eliphaz the Temanite and
Bildad the Shuhite
and
Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the L
ORD
commanded
them: the L
ORD
also accepted Job.
10
And the L
ORD
turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for
his friends: also the L
ORD
gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11
Then 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 L
ORD
had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an
earring of gold.
12
So the L
ORD
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.
13
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14
And he called the name of the first,
Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15
And in
all the land were no women found
so
fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them
inheritance among their brethren.
16
After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his
sons, and his sons’ sons,
even
four generations.
17
So Job died,
being
old and full of days.
The Book of
Psalms
CHAPTER 1
Blessed
is
the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2
But his delight
is
in the law of the L
ORD
; and in his law doth
he meditate day and night.
3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth
