Job Submits Himself to the LORD
Then Job replied to the LORD:
“I know that You can do all things Mat 19:26Mrk 10:27Gen 18:14Heb 4:12-13Jer 32:17Isa 46:10Eph 1:11Pro 19:21
and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.
You asked, ‘Who is this Job 38:2Psa 131:1Psa 139:6Psa 40:5Pro 30:2-4
who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ 1
Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me to know.
You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. Job 40:7Job 38:3Gen 18:30-32Gen 18:27
I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’ 2
My ears had heard of You, Eph 1:17-18Rom 10:17Jhn 12:45Isa 6:1Isa 6:5Jhn 12:41Job 26:14Jhn 1:18
but now my eyes have seen You.
Therefore I retract my words, Ezr 9:61Ti 1:13-16Jas 4:7-10Job 40:3-4Dan 9:3Job 30:191Co 15:8-9Est 4:1-3
and I repent in dust and ashes.”
The LORD Rebukes Job’s Friends
After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has. Job 11:5-6Job 32:2-3Job 32:5Job 2:11Job 4:1Psa 51:4Job 8:1Job 11:1 So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, as My servant Job has.” Num 23:1Jas 5:161Ch 15:26Gen 20:17Job 22:30Psa 103:10Ezk 14:142Ch 29:21
So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s request. Heb 11:8Act 9:6Ecc 9:7Mat 7:24Pro 3:11-12Act 10:33Isa 60:14Jhn 2:5
The LORD Blesses Job
After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions. Deu 30:3Job 8:6-7Pro 22:4Isa 40:2Isa 61:7Psa 14:7Psa 126:1Act 7:50 All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver 3and a gold ring. Job 19:13-14Job 2:11Gen 24:22Pro 16:7Heb 12:12Rom 12:151Co 12:261Sa 10:27
So the LORD blessed Job’s latter days more than his first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. Job 8:7Ecc 7:8Pro 10:22Gen 24:35Psa 144:13-15Gen 26:12-14Job 1:31Ti 6:17 And he also had seven sons and three daughters. Job 1:2Isa 49:20Psa 107:41Psa 127:3 He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch. No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers. Num 27:7Psa 144:12Act 7:20Jos 18:4Jos 15:18-19
After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. Pro 17:6Gen 50:23Psa 128:6Gen 25:7Gen 47:28Gen 50:26Jos 24:29Gen 11:32 And so Job died, old and full of years. Gen 25:8Gen 15:15Job 5:26Deu 6:2Psa 91:16Pro 3:16
