The Book of Job, Chapter 42איוב 42

וַיַּ֖עַן אִיּ֥וֹב אֶת יְהוָ֗ה וַיֹּאמַֽר

Then Job answered YHWH, and said,

ידעת יָ֭דַעְתִּי כִּי כֹ֣ל תּוּכָ֑ל וְלֹא יִבָּצֵ֖ר מִמְּךָ֣ מְזִמָּֽה

I know that you canst do every , and no thought can be withholden from you.

מִ֤י זֶ֨ה מַעְלִ֥ים עֵצָ֗ה בְּֽלִ֫י דָ֥עַת לָכֵ֣ן הִ֭גַּדְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אָבִ֑ין נִפְלָא֥וֹת מִ֝מֶּ֗נִּי וְלֹ֣א אֵדָֽע

Who he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

שְֽׁמַֽע נָ֭א וְאָנֹכִ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אֶ֝שְׁאָלְךָ֗ וְהוֹדִיעֵֽנִי

Hear, I beseech you, and I will speak: I will demand of you, and declare you to me.

לְשֵֽׁמַע אֹ֥זֶן שְׁמַעְתִּ֑יךָ וְ֝עַתָּ֗ה עֵינִ֥י רָאָֽתְךָ

I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth you.

עַל כֵּ֭ן אֶמְאַ֣ס וְנִחַ֑מְתִּי עַל עָפָ֥ר וָאֵֽפֶר

Wherefore I abhor , and repent in dust and ashes.

וַיְהִ֗י אַחַ֨ר דִּבֶּ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה אֶת הַדְּבָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה אֶל אִיּ֑וֹב וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל אֱלִיפַ֣ז הַתֵּֽימָנִ֗י חָרָ֨ה אַפִּ֤י בְךָ֙ וּבִשְׁנֵ֣י רֵעֶ֔יךָ כִּ֠י לֹ֣א דִבַּרְתֶּ֥ם אֵלַ֛י נְכוֹנָ֖ה כְּעַבְדִּ֥י אִיּֽוֹב

And it was , that after YHWH had spoken these words to Job, YHWH said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends: for you have not spoken of me right, as my servant Job .

וְעַתָּ֡ה קְחֽוּ לָכֶ֣ם שִׁבְעָֽה פָרִים֩ וְשִׁבְעָ֨ה אֵילִ֜ים וּלְכ֣וּ אֶל עַבְדִּ֣י אִיּ֗וֹב וְהַעֲלִיתֶ֤ם עוֹלָה֙ בַּֽעַדְכֶ֔ם וְאִיּ֣וֹב עַבְדִּ֔י יִתְפַּלֵּ֖ל עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם כִּ֧י אִם פָּנָ֣יו אֶשָּׂ֗א לְבִלְתִּ֞י עֲשׂ֤וֹת עִמָּכֶם֙ נְבָלָ֔ה כִּ֠י לֹ֣א דִבַּרְתֶּ֥ם אֵלַ֛י נְכוֹנָ֖ה כְּעַבְדִּ֥י אִיּֽוֹב

Therefore take to 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 folly, in that you have not spoken of me right, like my servant Job.

וַיֵּלְכוּ֩ אֱלִיפַ֨ז הַתֵּֽימָנִ֜י וּבִלְדַּ֣ד הַשּׁוּחִ֗י צֹפַר֙ הַנַּ֣עֲמָתִ֔י וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֔וּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר דִּבֶּ֥ר אֲלֵיהֶ֖ם יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּשָּׂ֥א יְהוָ֖ה אֶת פְּנֵ֥י אִיּֽוֹב

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as YHWH commanded them: YHWH also accepted Job.

וַֽיהוָ֗ה שָׁ֚ב אֶת שבית שְׁב֣וּת אִיּ֔וֹב בְּהִֽתְפַּֽלְל֖וֹ בְּעַ֣ד רֵעֵ֑הוּ וַ֧יֹּסֶף יְהוָ֛ה אֶת כָּל אֲשֶׁ֥ר לְאִיּ֖וֹב לְמִשְׁנֶֽה

And YHWH turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also YHWH gave Job twice as much as he had before.

וַיָּבֹ֣אוּ אֵ֠לָיו כָּל אֶחָ֨יו וְכָל אחיתיו אַחְיוֹתָ֜יו וְכָל יֹדְעָ֣יו לְפָנִ֗ים וַיֹּאכְל֨וּ עִמּ֣וֹ לֶחֶם֮ בְּבֵיתוֹ֒ וַיָּנֻ֤דוּ לוֹ֙ וַיְנַחֲמ֣וּ אֹת֔וֹ עַ֚ל כָּל הָ֣רָעָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר הֵבִ֥יא יְהוָ֖ה עָלָ֑יו וַיִּתְּנוּ ל֗וֹ אִ֚ישׁ קְשִׂיטָ֣ה אֶחָ֔ת וְאִ֕ישׁ נֶ֥זֶם זָהָ֖ב אֶחָֽד

Then came there to 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 YHWH had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.

וַֽיהוָ֗ה בֵּרַ֛ךְ אֶת אַחֲרִ֥ית אִיּ֖וֹב מֵרֵאשִׁת֑וֹ וַֽיְהִי ל֡וֹ אַרְבָּעָה֩ עָשָׂ֨ר אֶ֜לֶף צֹ֗אן וְשֵׁ֤שֶׁת אֲלָפִים֙ גְּמַלִּ֔ים וְאֶֽלֶף צֶ֥מֶד בָּקָ֖ר וְאֶ֥לֶף אֲתוֹנֽוֹת

So YHWH 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.

וַֽיְהִי ל֛וֹ שִׁבְעָ֥נָה בָנִ֖ים וְשָׁל֥וֹשׁ בָּנֽוֹת

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

וַיִּקְרָ֤א שֵׁם הָֽאַחַת֙ יְמִימָ֔ה וְשֵׁ֥ם הַשֵּׁנִ֖ית קְצִיעָ֑ה וְשֵׁ֥ם הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֖ית קֶ֥רֶן הַפּֽוּךְ

And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.

וְלֹ֨א נִמְצָ֜א נָשִׁ֥ים יָפ֛וֹת כִּבְנ֥וֹת אִיּ֖וֹב בְּכָל הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיִּתֵּ֨ן לָהֶ֧ם אֲבִיהֶ֛ם נַחֲלָ֖ה בְּת֥וֹךְ אֲחֵיהֶֽם

And in all the land were no women found fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

וַיְחִ֤י אִיּוֹב֙ אַֽחֲרֵי זֹ֔את מֵאָ֥ה וְאַרְבָּעִ֖ים שָׁנָ֑ה וירא וַיִּרְאֶ֗ה אֶת בָּנָיו֙ וְאֶת בְּנֵ֣י בָנָ֔יו אַרְבָּעָ֖ה דֹּרֽוֹת

After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations.

וַיָּ֣מָת אִיּ֔וֹב זָקֵ֖ן וּשְׂבַ֥ע יָמִֽים

So Job died, old and full of days.
