ESV

1	Then Job answered the LORD and said:
2	“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
3	'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4	'Hear, and I will speak; I will question you, and you make it known to me.'
5	I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you;
6	therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.“
7	After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
8	Now therefore take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.“
9	So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD had told them, and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.
10	And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11	Then came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him. And each of them gave him a piece of money and a ring of gold.
12	And the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning. And he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
13	He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14	And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch.
15	And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job's daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16	And after this Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations.
17	And Job died, an old man, and full of days.

NIV

1	Then Job replied to the LORD:
2	“I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.
3	You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?' Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.
4	“You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.'
5	My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
6	Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.“
7	After the LORD had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
8	So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.“
9	So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.
10	After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before.
11	All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the LORD had brought upon him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.
12	The LORD blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys.
13	And he also had seven sons and three daughters.
14	The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch.
15	Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.
16	After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
17	And so he died, old and full of years.

NLT

1	Then Job replied to the LORD:
2	“I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you.
3	You asked, 'Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?' It is I– and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me.
4	You said, 'Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.'
5	I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
6	I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.“
7	After the LORD had finished speaking to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken accurately about me, as my servant Job has.
8	So take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer on your behalf. I will not treat you as you deserve, for you have not spoken accurately about me, as my servant Job has.“
9	So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did as the LORD commanded them, and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.
10	When Job prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes. In fact, the LORD gave him twice as much as before!
11	Then all his brothers, sisters, and former friends came and feasted with him in his home. And they consoled him and comforted him because of all the trials the LORD had brought against him. And each of them brought him a gift of money and a gold ring.
12	So the LORD blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. For now he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
13	He also gave Job seven more sons and three more daughters.
14	He named his first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch.
15	In all the land no women were as lovely as the daughters of Job. And their father put them into his will along with their brothers.
16	Job lived 140 years after that, living to see four generations of his children and grandchildren.
17	Then he died, an old man who had lived a long, full life.

KJV

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, Kerenhappuch.
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.
