This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
42:1 Iyyov requests God’s forgiveness
42 Then Iyyov answered Yahweh:
2 I know that you can do everything,
≈and no one can stop you from doing what you want.
‘Who’s this concealing counsel without knowledge?’
That’s why I spouted out things I didn’t understand—
things that are too wonderful for me—that I didn’t know.
4 Listen now, and I’ll speak.[ref]
I’ll tell you my question and you can inform me.
but now I can see you with my eyes.
6 Therefore I despise myself for what I said,
and I show my repentance by sitting in dust and ashes.
SECTION SEVEN: Final speech
(42:7-17)
42:7 Iyyov’s three friends humiliated by God
7 After Yahweh had said that to Iyyov, he told Elifaz (from Teman), “I’m angry with you and your two friends, because what you all said about me wasn’t right, like what Iyyov said. 8 So now get seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Iyyov and offer them as a burnt offering for yourselves. Then my servant Iyyov will pray for you all. I’ll do what he asks and not deal with you like your foolishness deserves, because you all didn’t speak accurately about me like Iyyov did.”
9 So Elifaz (from Teman) and Bildad (from Shuah) and Zofar (from Naamah) went and did what Yahweh had told them, and Yahweh accepted Iyyov’s prayer.
42:10 Iyyov’s doubled restoration
10 After Iyyov had prayed for his friends, Yahweh changed his situation and gave him double what he had before.[ref] 11 Then all of his brothers and sisters and everyone who’d known him before, came to his house and had a meal with him, and they comforted him and consoled him about all the troubles that Yahweh had brought on him. Then they each gave him a silver coin and a gold ring.
12 Then Yahweh blessed the second part of Iyyov’s life more than the first, and he ended up with 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 working pairs of cows, and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 He also had seven more sons and three more daughters 14 who he named Yemimah, Ketsiah, and Keren-Happuk. 15 No one in the whole country was as beautiful as Iyyov’s daughters, and as well as their brothers, their father gave them each a piece of land as an inheritance. 16 Iyyov lived another 140 years after all that, and was even able to see his great-grandchildren. 17 Then Iyyov died in good circumstances and at a very old age.
