| 1 | Then Job answered the Lord, and said: |
| 2 | I know that thou canst do all things, and no thought is hid from thee. |
| 3 | Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken unwisely, and things that above measure exceeded my knowledge. |
| 4 | Hear, and I will speak: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me. |
| 5 | With the hearing of the ear, I have heard thee, but now my eye seeth thee. |
| 6 | Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes. |
| 7 | And after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends, because you have not spoken the thing that is right before my, as my servant Job hath. |
| 8 | Take unto you therefore seven oxen, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a holocaust: and my servant Job shall pray for you: his face I will accept, that folly be not imputed to you: for you have not spoken right things before me, as my servant Job hath. |
| 9 | So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite went, and did as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job. |
| 10 | The Lord also was turned at the penance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. |
| 11 | And all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and all that knew him before, and they ate bread with him in his house: and bemoaned him, and comforted him upon all the evil that God had brought upon him. And every man gave him one ewe, and one earring of fold. |
| 12 | And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. |
| 13 | And he had seven sons, and three daughters. |
| 14 | And he called the names of one Dies, and the name of the second Cassia, and the name of the third Cornustibil. |
| 15 | And there were not found in all the earth women so beautiful as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. |
| 16 | And Job lived after these things, a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children's children, unto the fourth generation, and he died an old man, and full of days. |
