Job 42
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
Job svarar Herren
42 Job svarade Herren och sade:
2 (A) Jag vet att du kan göra allt,
inget du beslutar
är omöjligt för dig.
3 (B) ”Vem är den som döljer ditt råd
utan förstånd?”
Jag ordade om det jag inte begrep,
om det som var
för underbart för mig
och som jag inte förstod.
4 ”Lyssna nu, så ska jag tala.
Jag ska fråga dig,
och du ska ge mig besked.”
5 Förut hade jag bara hört talas om dig,
men nu har jag sett dig
med egna ögon.
6 (C) Därför tar jag tillbaka det
och ångrar mig i stoft och aska.
Herren tillrättavisar Jobs vänner
7 När Herren hade talat dessa ord till Job, sade Herren till Elifas från Teman: ”Min vrede brinner mot dig och dina båda vänner, för ni har inte talat rätt om mig som min tjänare Job. 8 (D) Ta er nu därför sju tjurar och sju baggar och gå till min tjänare Job och offra dem som brännoffer för er, och min tjänare Job ska be för er. Jag ska ta emot hans bön och inte göra mot er som er dårskap[a] har förtjänat, för ni har inte talat rätt om mig som min tjänare Job.”
9 (E) Då gick Elifas från Teman, Bildad från Shua och Sofar från Naama och gjorde som Herren hade sagt till dem. Och Herren tog emot Jobs bön.
Herren välsignar Job
10 (F) Och Herren återupprättade Job[b] när han bad för sina vänner. Herren gav Job dubbelt så mycket som han hade haft förut. 11 (G) Alla hans bröder och systrar och alla han förr hade känt kom till honom, och de åt mat med honom i hans hem. De uppmuntrade och tröstade honom efter all olycka som Herren hade låtit drabba honom. Och var och en gav honom en kesita[c] och en guldring.
12 (H) Och Herren välsignade slutet av Jobs liv mer än dess början. Han fick 14 000 får, 6 000 kameler, 1 000 par oxar och 1 000 åsneston. 13 Han fick också sju söner och tre döttrar. 14 Den första dottern kallade han Jemima, den andra Kesia och den tredje Keren-Happuk.[d] 15 I hela landet fanns inga kvinnor så vackra som Jobs döttrar. Och deras far gav dem arv[e] tillsammans med deras bröder.
16 (I) Därefter levde Job hundrafyrtio år och fick se sina barn och barnbarn i fyra led. 17 (J) Sedan dog Job, gammal och mätt på att leva.

Job 42
Authorized (King James) Version
42 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
2 I know that thou canst do every thing,
and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge?
therefore have I uttered that I understood not;
things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak:
I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear:
but now mine eye seeth thee.
6 Wherefore I abhor myself,
and repent in dust and ashes.
7 And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath. 8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job. 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord commanded them: the Lord also accepted Job.
10 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. 11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. 12 So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. 13 He had also seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch. 15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations. 17 So Job died, being old and full of days.

12 So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
