1Then Job replied to the LORD: 1Then Job replied to the LORD:
2I know that You can do anything and no plan of Yours can be thwarted. 2“I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.
3You asked, "Who is this who conceals My counsel with ignorance?" Surely I spoke about things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. 3You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.
4You said, "Listen now, and I will speak. When I question you, you will inform Me." 4You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’
5I had heard rumors about You, but now my eyes have seen You. 5My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You.
6Therefore I take back my words and repent in dust and ashes. 6Therefore I retract my words, and I repent in dust and ashes.”
7After the LORD had finished speaking to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite: "I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken the truth about Me, as My servant Job has.7After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has.
8Now take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you. I will surely accept his prayer and not deal with you as your folly deserves. For you have not spoken the truth about Me, as My servant Job has."8So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, as My servant Job has.”
9Then Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them, and the LORD accepted Job's prayer. 9So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s request.
10After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his previous possessions.10After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions.
11All his brothers, sisters, and former acquaintances came to his house and dined with him in his house.

Each one gave him a qesitah and a gold earring. 11All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.
12So the LORD blessed the last part of Job's life more than the first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. 12So the LORD blessed Job’s latter days more than his first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
