¹¹ Indeed ^(A)we count them blessed who ^(B)endure. You have heard of ^(C)the perseverance of Job and seen ^(D)the end intended by the Lord—that ^(E)the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

²¹ And he said:

^22 (E)In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.

⁶ And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord ^(A)God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in ^(B)goodness and ^(C)truth,

Loving God Under Trials

^12 (A)Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive ^(B)the crown of life ^(C)which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

^11 (B)Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of ^(C)evil against you falsely for My sake.

²² And ^(A)you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. ^(B)But he who endures to the end will be saved.

^10 (A)And the Lord ^[a]restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job ^(B)twice as much as he had before. ¹¹ Then ^(C)all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been his acquaintances before, came to him and ate food with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversity that the Lord had brought upon him. Each one gave him a piece of silver and each a ring of gold.

¹² Now the Lord blessed ^(D)the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had ^(E)fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys. ^13 (F)He also had seven sons and three daughters. ¹⁴ And he called the name of the first ^[b]Jemimah, the name of the second ^[c]Keziah, and the name of the third ^[d]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 ^(G)lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations. ¹⁷ So Job died, old and ^(H)full of days.
