Job

Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than God.

Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were elder than he.

Yes, I gave you my full attention, but there was no one who convinced Job, or who answered his words, among you.

“However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.

Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.

For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, God has taken away my right:

What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,

‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’

I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.

Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”

“Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind,

Moreover the LORD answered Job,

Then Job answered the LORD,

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind,

Then Job answered the LORD,

It was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls 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 I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what the LORD commanded them, and the LORD accepted Job.

The LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. The LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.

In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.

So Job died, being old and full of days.
