“For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, But God has taken away my justice;

What man is like Job, Who drinks scorn like water,

‘Job speaks without knowledge, His words are without wisdom.’

Oh, that Job were tried to the utmost, Because his answers are like those of wicked men!

Therefore Job opens his mouth in vain; He multiplies words without knowledge.”

“Listen to this, O Job; Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God.

The Lord Reveals His Omnipotence to Job

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:

God Continues to Challenge Job

“Do you know the time when the wild mountain goats bear young? Or can you mark when the deer gives birth?

God’s Power and Wisdom

Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said:

Job’s Response to God

Then Job answered the Lord and said:

God’s Challenge to Job

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:

Job’s Repentance and Restoration

Then Job answered the Lord and said:

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.

Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you. For I will accept 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.”

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord commanded them; for the Lord had accepted Job.

And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Now the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

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.

After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations.

So Job died, old and full of days.
