Liber Iob

Iob, chapter 42, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 42 Vulgate

   1 Respondens autem Iob Domino dixit:
   2" Scio quia omnia potes, et nulla te latet cogitatio.
   3 Quis est iste, qui celat consilium absque scientia? Ideo insipienter locutus sum et mirabilia, quae excederent scientiam meam.
   4 Audi, et ego loquar; interrogabo te, et responde mihi.
   5 Auditu auris audivi te; nunc autem oculus meus videt te.
   6 Idcirco ipse me reprehendo et ago paenitentiam in favilla et cinere".
   7 Postquam autem locutus est Dominus verba haec ad Iob, dixit ad Eliphaz Themanitem: "Iratus est furor meus in te et in duos amicos tuos, quoniam non estis locuti coram me rectum sicut servus meus Iob.
   8 Sumite ergo vobis septem tauros et septem arietes et ite ad servum meum Iob et offerte holocaustum pro vobis; Iob autem servus meus orabit pro vobis. Faciem eius suscipiam, ut non vobis imputetur stultitia; neque enim locuti estis ad me recta sicut servus meus Iob".
   9 Abierunt ergo Eliphaz Themanites et Baldad Suhites et Sophar Naamathites et fecerunt, sicut locutus fuerat Dominus ad eos, et suscepit Dominus faciem Iob.
   10 Dominus vertit sortem Iob, cum oraret ille pro amicis suis; et addidit Dominus omnia, quaecumque fuerant Iob, duplicia.
   11 Venerunt autem ad eum omnes fratres sui et universae sorores suae et cuncti, qui noverant eum prius; et comederunt cum eo panem in domo eius et moverunt super eum caput et consolati sunt eum super omni malo, quod intulerat Dominus super eum; et dederunt ei unusquisque argenteum unum et inaurem auream unam.
   12 Dominus autem benedixit novissimis Iob magis quam principio eius; et facta sunt ei quattuordecim milia ovium et sex milia camelorum et mille iuga boum et mille asinae.
   13 Et fuerunt ei septem filii et tres filiae;
   14 et vocavit nomen unius Columbam et nomen secundae Cassiam et nomen tertiae Cornustibii.
   15 Non sunt autem inventae mulieres speciosae sicut filiae Iob in universa terra; deditque eis pater suus hereditatem inter fratres earum.
   16 Vixit autem Iob post haec centum quadraginta annis et vidit filios suos et filios filiorum suorum usque ad quartam generationem; et mortuus est senex et plenus dierum.

King James Version

   1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
   2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
   3 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.
   4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
   5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
   6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
   7 ¶ 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.
   8 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.
   9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
   10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
   11 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.
   12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job 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.
   13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
   14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
   15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
   16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
   17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
