Job responde al Señor
42 Entonces Job respondió al Señor:
2 «Sé que todo lo puedes,
y que nadie puede detenerte.
3 Tú preguntaste: “¿Quién es este que pone en duda mi sabiduría con tanta ignorancia?”.
Soy yo y hablaba de cosas sobre las que no sabía nada,
cosas demasiado maravillosas para mí.
4 Tú dijiste: “¡Escucha y yo hablaré!
Tengo algunas preguntas para ti
y tendrás que contestarlas”.
5 Hasta ahora solo había oído de ti,
pero ahora te he visto con mis propios ojos.
6 Me retracto de todo lo que dije,
y me siento en polvo y ceniza en señal de arrepentimiento».
Conclusión: el Señor bendice a Job
7 Después de que el Señor terminó de hablar con Job, le dijo a Elifaz el temanita: «Estoy enojado contigo y con tus dos amigos, porque no hablaron con exactitud acerca de mí, como lo hizo mi siervo Job. 8 Así que, tomen siete toros y siete carneros, vayan a mi siervo Job y ofrezcan una ofrenda quemada por ustedes mismos. Mi siervo Job orará, y yo aceptaré la oración a favor de ustedes. No los trataré como se merecen, a pesar de no haber hablado de mí con exactitud, como lo hizo mi siervo Job». 9 Así que Elifaz el temanita, Bildad el suhita y Zofar el naamatita, hicieron lo que el Señor les mandó, y el Señor aceptó la oración de Job.
10 Cuando Job oró por sus amigos, el Señor le restauró su bienestar. Es más, ¡el Señor le dio el doble de lo que antes tenía! 11 Entonces todos sus hermanos, hermanas y anteriores amigos vinieron y festejaron con él en su casa. Lo consolaron y lo alentaron por todas las pruebas que el Señor había enviado en su contra; y cada uno de ellos le regaló dinero[a] y un anillo de oro.
12 Así que el Señor bendijo a Job en la segunda mitad de su vida aún más que al principio. Pues ahora tenía catorce mil ovejas, seis mil camellos, mil yuntas de bueyes y mil burras. 13 Además dio a Job otros siete hijos y tres hijas. 14 Llamó a su primera hija Jemima, a la segunda Cesia y a la tercera Keren-hapuc. 15 En toda la tierra no había mujeres tan bellas como las hijas de Job, y su padre les dejó una herencia en su testamento junto con sus hermanos.
16 Después de esto, Job vivió ciento cuarenta años y pudo ver a cuatro generaciones de sus hijos y nietos. 17 Luego murió siendo muy anciano, después de vivir una vida larga y plena.

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)

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, Kerenhappuch.
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.
