        Job 42
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         
      
      
        <b>1.  Then Job answered the Lord, and said,</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 2.  I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from 
        thee.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 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.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 4.  Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou 
        unto me.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> </b>
      
      
        <b>5.  I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 6.  Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         7.  And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to 
        Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against 
      
      
        <b>thy two friends</b>
      
      
        : for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, 
      
      
        <b>as my servant Job hath</b>
      
      
        .
      
    <br/>

      
         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 
      
      
        <b>my servant Job shall pray for you</b>
      
      
        : 
      
      
        <b>for him will I accept</b>
      
      
        : lest I deal with you after your folly, in that 
      
      
        <b>ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         9.  So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and 
        did according as the Lord commanded them: 
      
      
        <b>the Lord also accepted Job.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         10.  And the Lord 
      
      
        <b>turned the captivity of Job</b>
      
      
        , when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job 
      
      
        <b>twice as much as he had before</b>
      
      
        .
      
    <br/>

      
         11.  Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that 
        had been of his acquaintance before, and 
      
      
        <b>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</b>
      
      
        : every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
      
    <br/>

      
         12.  So 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.
      
    <br/>

      
         13.  He had also seven sons and three daughters.
      
    <br/>

      
         14.  And he called the name of the first, 
      
      
        <b>Jemima</b>
      
      
        ; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
      
    <br/>

      
         15.  And in all the land were no women found so fair as 
      
      
        <b>the daughters of Job</b>
      
      
        : and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
      
    <br/>

      
         16.  After this lived Job an 
      
      
        <b>hundred and forty years, </b>
      
      
        and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
      
    <br/>

      
         17.  So Job died, being old and full of days.
