Job återupprättas
Job svarar Herren
42 Då svarade Job Herren:
2 Jag vet att du kan göra vad du vill
och att dina planer inte kan omintetgöras.
3 Du frågade: ”Vem är denne som döljer mitt råd, med ord utan kunskap?”[a]
Ja, jag talade om saker som jag inte förstod,
sådant som var alltför underbart för mig.
4 Du sa: ”Lyssna!
Jag tänker ställa frågor som du får svara på.”[b]
5 Förut har jag bara hört talas om dig,
men nu har jag sett dig med egna ögon.
6 Jag tar tillbaka mitt,[c]
jag ångrar mig i stoft och aska.
Jobs vänner
7 Sedan Herren avslutat sitt tal till Job, sa han till Elifas från Teman:
”Jag är vred på dig och dina två vänner. Ni har inte talat sanning om mig, som min tjänare Job har gjort. 8 Ta nu sju ungtjurar och sju baggar och gå till min tjänare Job och offra ett brännoffer för er själva. Min tjänare Job ska då be för er. Jag ska lyssna på hans bön och inte dra ner er i skam för att ni inte har talat sanning om mig, som min tjänare Job har gjort.”
9 Elifas från Teman, Bildad från Shuach och Sofar från Naama gjorde som Herren hade befallt dem, och Herren lyssnade till Jobs bön.
Herren välsignar Job mer än tidigare
10 När Job bad för sina vänner gav Herren honom upprättelse och skänkte honom dubbelt så mycket mot vad han förut hade haft.
11 Sedan kom alla hans bröder och systrar och alla som hade känt honom tidigare och åt tillsammans med honom i hans hem. De visade medkänsla och tröstade honom efter alla bedrövelser som Herren hade låtit komma över honom, och var och en av dem gav honom ett stycke silver[d] och en guldring.
12 Herren välsignade de sista återstående åren av Jobs liv mer än hans första, så att han kom att få 14 000 får, 6 000 kameler, 1 000 par oxar och 1 000 åsneston.
13 Han fick också sju[e] söner och tre döttrar. 14 Den första dottern kallade han Jemima, den andra Kesia och den tredje gav han namnet Keren-Happuk[f]. 15 I hela landet fanns det inga kvinnor som var lika vackra som Jobs döttrar. Job gav dem arvsrätt tillsammans med deras bröder.
16 Job levde etthundrafyrtio år efter detta och fick se både barn och barnbarn i fyra led. 17 Sedan dog Job, gammal och mätt på att leva.

Job
42 Then Job replied to the Lord:
2 “I know that you can do all things;(A)
no purpose of yours can be thwarted.(B)
3 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)
4 “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.’(E)
5 My ears had heard of you(F)
but now my eyes have seen you.(G)
6 Therefore I despise myself(H)
and repent(I) in dust and ashes.”(J)
Epilogue
7 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) 8 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) 9 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)
10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes(V) and gave him twice as much as he had before.(W) 11 All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before(X) came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him,(Y) and each one gave him a piece of silver[a] and a gold ring.
12 The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. 13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. 15 Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.
16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. 17 And so Job died, an old man and full of years.(Z)

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.
4 Listen, please, and let me speak;
You said, (D)‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’
5 “I have (E)heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You.
6 Therefore I (F)abhor[a] myself,
And repent in dust and ashes.”
7 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. 8 Now therefore, take for yourselves (G)seven bulls and seven rams, (H)go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall (I)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.”
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord commanded them; for the Lord had [c]accepted Job. 10 (J)And the Lord [d]restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job (K)twice as much as he had before. 11 Then (L)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 (M)the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had (N)fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys. 13 (O)He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first [e]Jemimah, the name of the second [f]Keziah, and the name of the third [g]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 (P)lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations. 17 So Job died, old and (Q)full of days.
