Job 42:7-11

English Standard Version

The Lord Rebukes Job's Friends

⁷ After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz ^(A)the Temanite: “My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. ⁸ Now therefore take ^(B)seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and ^(C)offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall ^(D)pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” ^9 (E)So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the Lord had told them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.

The Lord Restores Job's Fortunes

¹⁰ And the Lord ^(F)restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job ^(G)twice as much as he had before. ¹¹ Then came to him all his ^(H)brothers and sisters and all who had ^(I)known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they ^(J)showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil^[a] that the Lord had brought upon him. And each of them gave him ^(K)a piece of money^[b] and ^(L)a ring of gold.
