and answer your questions.42.4 questions: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text of verse 4.
5 I heard about you from others;
now I have seen you
with my own eyes.
6 That’s why I hate myself
and sit here in dust and ashes
to show my sorrow.
The Lord Corrects Job’s Friends
7 The Lordsaid to Eliphaz:
What my servant Jobhas said about me is true, but I am angry with you and your two friends for not telling the truth. 8 So I want you to go over to Joband offer seven bulls and seven goats on an altar as a sacrifice to please me.42.8 sacrifice to please me: These sacrifices have traditionally been called "whole burnt offerings" because the whole animal was burned on the altar. A main purpose of such sacrifices was to please the Lord with the smell of the sacrifice, and so in the CEV they are often called "sacrifices to please the Lord."After this, Jobwill pray, and I will agree not to punish you for your foolishness.
9 Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zopharobeyed the Lord, and he answered Job’s prayer.
A Happy Ending
10 Job 1.1-3.After Jobhad prayed for his three friends, the Lordmade Jobtwice as rich as he had been before. 11 Then Job gave a feast for his brothers and sisters and for his old friends. They expressed their sorrow for the suffering the Lordhad brought on him, and they each gave Job some silver and a gold ring.
12 The Lordnow blessed Jobmore than ever; he gave him 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 pair of oxen, and 1,000 donkeys.
13 In addition to seven sons, Job had three daughters, 14 whose names were Jemimah, Keziah, and Keren Happuch. 15 They were the most beautiful women in that part of the world, and Jobgave them shares of his property, along with their brothers.
16 Joblived for another 140 years—long enough to see his great-grandchildren have children of their own— 17 and when he finally died, he was very old.
