Job 42:1-3
New King James Version
Job’s Repentance and Restoration
42 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
2 “I know that You (A)can do everything,
And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.
3 You asked, (B)‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
(C)Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
Job 42:5-6
New King James Version
5 “I have (A)heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You.
6 Therefore I (B)abhor[a] myself,
And repent in dust and ashes.”

New King James Version
12 Now the Lord blessed (A)the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had (B)fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys. 13 (C)He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first [a]Jemimah, the name of the second [b]Keziah, and the name of the third [c]Keren-Happuch. 15 In all the land were found no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 After this Job (D)lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations.
