约伯认罪

42 约伯回答耶和华说:

“我知道你万事都能作,

你的旨意是不能拦阻的。

这以无知无识的言语使 神的旨意模糊不清的是谁呢?

所以我说了我所不明白的;

这些事太奇妙,是我不晓得的。

求你听我,我要说话;

我要问你,你要告诉我。

我从前只是风闻有你,

但现在亲眼看见你。

因此我厌恶自己,

在尘土和灰烬中懊悔。”

耶和华责约伯三友

耶和华对约伯说了这些话以后,就对提幔人以利法说:“我要向你和你的两个朋友生气,因为你们讲论我,不如我的仆人约伯说的对。 现在你们要为自己取七头公牛、七只公羊,到我的仆人约伯那里去,为你们献上燔祭,我的仆人约伯就替你们祷告;我悦纳他的祷告,就不按照你们的愚昧待你们。你们讲论我,不如我的仆人约伯说的对。” 于是提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达、拿玛人琐法,照着耶和华吩咐他们的去行,耶和华就悦纳约伯的祷告。

Job

42 Then Job replied to the Lord:

“I know that you can do all things;(A)
    no purpose of yours can be thwarted.(B)
You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’(C)
    Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
    things too wonderful for me to know.(D)

“You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak;
    I will question you,
    and you shall answer me.’(E)
My ears had heard of you(F)
    but now my eyes have seen you.(G)
Therefore I despise myself(H)
    and repent(I) in dust and ashes.”(J)

Epilogue

After the Lord had said these things to Job(K), he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends,(L) because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.(M) So now take seven bulls and seven rams(N) and go to my servant Job(O) and sacrifice a burnt offering(P) for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer(Q) and not deal with you according to your folly.(R) You have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.”(S) So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite(T) did what the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.(U)

Job Speaks: I Admit That I Was Wrong

42 Then Job answered Yahweh,

“I know that you can do everything
    and that your plans are unstoppable.

“You said, ‘Who is this that belittles my advice
    without having any knowledge about it?’
        Yes, I have stated things I didn’t understand,
            things too mysterious for me to know.

“You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak.
    I will ask you, and you will teach me.’
        I had heard about you with my own ears,
            but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
That is why I take back what I said,
    and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry.”

Job’s Life Is Restored

After Yahweh had said those things to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz from Teman, “I’m very angry with you and your two friends because you didn’t speak what is right about me as my servant Job has done. So take seven young bulls and seven rams. Go to my servant Job, and make a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you. Then I will accept his prayer not to treat you as godless fools. After all, you didn’t speak what is right about me as my servant Job has done.”

Then Eliphaz of Teman, Bildad of Shuah, and Zophar of Naama went and did what Yahweh had told them to do. And Yahweh accepted Job’s prayer.
