Job 42

About Job Job wrestles with why the righteous suffer, through Job's losses, his friends' arguments and God's answer.

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,SelectedJob 42:1Ask

I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.SelectedJob 42:2Ask

Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.SelectedJob 42:3Ask

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.SelectedJob 42:4Ask

Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.SelectedJob 42:6Ask

And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.SelectedJob 42:7Ask

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks 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 him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.SelectedJob 42:8Ask

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that 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 piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.SelectedJob 42:11Ask
