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 me, 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 gold.

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 name of one Dies, and the name of the second Cassia, and the name of the third Cornustibii.

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.
