1 And Job said in answer to the Lord,
2 I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.
3 Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.
4 Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.
5 Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.
6 For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.
7 And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
8 And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
9 And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.
10 And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.
11 And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.
12 And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
14 And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch;
15 And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers.
16 And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 And Job came to his end, old and full of days.
1 约伯回答耶和华说：
2 "我知道你万事都能作， 你的旨意是不能拦阻的。
3 这以无知无识的言语使 神的旨意模糊不清的是谁呢？所以我说了我所不明白的； 这些事太奇妙， 是我不晓得的。
4 求你听我， 我要说话； 我要问你， 你要告诉我。
5 我从前只是风闻有你， 但现在亲眼看见你。
6 因此我厌恶自己， 在尘土和灰烬中懊悔。"
7 耶和华对约伯说了这些话以后， 就对提幔人以利法说： "我要向你和你的两个朋友生气， 因为你们讲论我， 不如我的仆人约伯说的对。
8 现在你们要为自己取七头公牛、七只公羊， 到我的仆人约伯那里去， 为你们献上燔祭， 我的仆人约伯就替你们祷告； 我悦纳他的祷告， 就不按照你们的愚昧待你们。你们讲论我， 不如我的仆人约伯说的对。"
9 于是提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达、拿玛人琐法， 照着耶和华吩咐他们的去行， 耶和华就悦纳约伯的祷告。
10 约伯替他的朋友祷告， 耶和华就恢复约伯原来的景况， 还照约伯以前所有的一切加倍赐给他。
11 约伯的众兄弟姊妹和以前认识的人都来见他， 在他家里与他一同吃饭， 又因耶和华降予他的一切灾祸都对他表同情， 安慰他， 每人送他一块银子和一个金环。
12 这样， 耶和华后来赐给约伯的福比先前更多： 他有一万四千只羊、六千匹骆驼、一千对牛、一千头母驴。
13 他也有七个儿子和三个女儿。
14 他给长女起名叫耶米玛， 次女名叫基洗亚， 三女名叫基连．哈朴。
15 在那全地中， 找不到像约伯女儿那么美貌的妇女。她们的父亲在她们兄弟中间把产业分给她们。
16 此后， 约伯又活了一百四十年， 得见他的儿孙到四代。
17 这样， 约伯年纪老迈， 寿终而死。
