Job 42

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Then Job answered the LORD and said:	1 Then Job answered the Lord, and said :
2 I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be hindered.	2 I know that thou canst do all things, and no thought is hid from thee.
3 I have dealt with great things that I do not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I cannot know.	3 Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken unwisely, and things that above measure exceeded my knowledge.
	4 Hear, and I will speak : I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.
5 I had heard of you by word of mouth, but now my eye has seen you.	5 With the hearing of the ear, I have heard thee, but now my eye seeth thee.
6 Therefore I disown what I have said, and repent in dust and ashes.	6 Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes.
7 And it came to pass after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am angry with you and with your two friends; for you have not spoken rightly concerning me, as has my servant Job.	7 And after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite : My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends, because you have not spoken the thing that is right before my, as my servant Job hath.
8 Now, therefore, take seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a holocaust for yourselves; and let my servant Job pray for you; for his prayer I will accept, not to punish you severely. For you have not spoken rightly concerning me, as has my servant Job."	8 Take unto you therefore seven oxen, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a holocaust : and my servant Job shall pray for you : his face I will accept, that folly be not imputed to you : for you have not spoken right things before me, as my servant Job hath.
9 Then Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the LORD had commanded them. And the LORD accepted the intercession of Job.	9 So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite went, and did as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.
10 Also, the LORD restored the prosperity of Job, after he had prayed for his friends; the LORD even gave to Job twice as much as he had before.	10 The Lord also was turned at the penance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Then all his brethren and his sisters came to him, and all his former acquaintances, and they dined with him in his house. They condoled with him and comforted him for all the evil which the LORD had brought upon him; and each one gave him a piece of money and a gold ring.	11 And all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and all that knew him before, and they ate bread with him in his house : and bemoaned him, and comforted him upon all the evil that God had brought upon him. And every man gave him one ewe, and one earring of fold.
12 Thus the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his earlier ones. For he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.	12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters,	13 And he had seven sons, and three daughters.
14 of whom he called the first Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch.	14 And he called the names of one Dies, and the name of the second Cassia, and the name of the third Cornustibil.
15 In all the land no other women were as beautiful as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.	15 And there were not found in all the earth women so beautiful as the daughters of Job : and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; and he saw his children, his grandchildren, and even his great-grandchildren.	16 And Job lived after these things, a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children's children, unto the fourth generation, and he died an old man, and full of days.
