Then Job answered the LORD and said,
Then Job answered the LORD and said,
Job’s Repentance and Restoration
Then Job answered the Lord and said:
Then Job answered the Lord and said:
“I know that You can do all things,
And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.
And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.
“I know that You can do everything,
And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.
And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.
‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’
“Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.”
“Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.”
You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
‘Hear, now, and I will speak;
I will ask You, and You instruct me.’
I will ask You, and You instruct me.’
Listen, please, and let me speak;
You said, ‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’
You said, ‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’
“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear;
But now my eye sees You;
But now my eye sees You;
“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You.
But now my eye sees You.
Therefore I retract,
And I repent in dust and ashes.”
And I repent in dust and ashes.”
God Displeased with Job’s Friends
It came about after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has.
And so it was, after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.
“Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept him so that I may not do with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”
Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you. For I will accept [b]him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job.

The LORD restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the LORD increased all that Job had twofold.
Then all his brothers and all his sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversities that the LORD had brought on him. And each one gave him one piece of money, and each a ring of gold.
