Then Iyyov answered the Lord, and said,

Then Iyyov answered G d and said:

I know that Thou canst do everything, and that no purpose of Thine can be thwarted.

I have [always] known that You are omnipotent, and that no thought is withheld from You.

Who is he that hides counsel without knowledge? therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

Who would deny counsel [(and the working of wonders to the L rd)]? Therefore, I have related [(what was known to me)]. But I did not understand [certain things] which are removed from me, which I do not know.

Hear, I beseech Thee, and I will speak: I will demand of Thee, and declare Thou unto me.

Listen, now, and I will speak. I will ask You, and You will give me knowledge.

I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye sees Thee.

[Before,] I heard of You with my ears, but now my eyes have seen You [(i.e., the Shechinah)].

Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

Therefore, I despise [my life]. And I would be consoled [if I could return] to dust and ashes.

And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words to Iyyov, the Lord said to Elifaz the Temanite; My anger burns against thee, and against thy two friends: for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, like my servant Iyyov.

And it was, after G d had spoken these words to Iyyov, that the L rd said to Elifaz the Temanite: I am angry with you and with your two friends [Bildad the Shuchite and Tzofar the Na'amathite], for you did not speak rightly to Me [(i.e., you did not present a cogent claim)] as (did) my servant Iyyov. [Iyyov did not speak offensively to Him, but only plaintively (viz. Chapter 9) and in the throes of affliction, but they offended in branding Iyyov as wicked and not consoling him (as Elihu did), and taunting him even beyond his suffering.]

Therefore take for yourselves now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Iyyov, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Iyyov shall pray for you: for to him I will show favour in doing you no disgrace, although you have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Iyyov.

And now, take for yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams and go to My servant Iyyov and bring up a burnt-offering for yourselves, and Iyyov My servant will pray for you; for I will show favor to him not to do anything vile to you. For you did not speak rightly to Me as (did) My servant Iyyov.

So Elifaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuĥite and Żofar the Na῾amatite went, and did as the Lord commanded them: the Lord also accepted Iyyov.

And Elifaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Tzofar the Na'amathite went, and did as the L rd had spoken to them, and the L rd showed favor to Iyyov [(and accepted his prayer for them)].

And the Lord restored the fortunes of Iyyov, when he prayed for his friends: and the Lord gave Iyyov twice as much as he had before.

And the L rd returned what had been taken from Iyyov, because of his praying for his friend, and the L rd increased all that Iyyov owned to double [its former amount].

Then all his brothers came to him, and all his sisters, and all they who had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a qesita, and everyone an earring of gold.

And there came to him all of his brothers and all of his sisters and all of his former acquaintances [(all who had been his good friends before the afflictions)], and they ate bread with him in his house, and they nodded to him [in sympathy] and consoled him for all of the suffering that the L rd had brought upon him, and each of them gave him one kesita [(a coin)], and each, a golden nose-ring.

So the Lord blessed the latter end of Iyyov more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

And the L rd blessed Iyyov's latter days more than [He had blessed] his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand pairs of cattle, and a thousand she-asses.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

And he had twice seven sons and three daughters.

And he called the name of the first, Yemima; and the name of the second, Qeżi῾a; and the name of the third, Qeren-happukh.

He called the first Yemimah [(sun)]; the second, Ketziah [(spice)]; and the third, Keren Hapuch [("the puch [cosmetic] horn")].

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Iyyov: and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

And there were no women as beautiful as the daughters of Iyyov in the whole land, and their father [(because of their distinctiveness and beauty)] gave them an inheritance together with their brothers.

After this Iyyov lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.

And Iyyov lived after this a hundred and forty years, and he saw four generations of his sons and grandsons.

So Iyyov died, being old and full of days.

And Iyyov died old and sated with days [of good].
