So Job opens his mouth to no purpose; ¹  without knowledge he multiplies words.”

“Pay attention to this, Job! Stand still and consider the wonders God works.

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind: ² 

Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:

After this Job opened his mouth ²  and cursed ³  the day he was born. ⁴ 

So these three men refused to answer ²  Job further, because he was righteous in his ³  own eyes.

But ¹  Job will be tested to the end, because his answers are like those of wicked men.

With Job’s ¹  three friends he was also angry, because they could not find ²  an answer, and so declared Job guilty. ³ 

In all this Job did not sin, nor did he charge God with moral impropriety. ¹ 

Now Elihu had waited before speaking ¹  to Job, because the others ²  were older than he was.

So now take ¹  seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job will intercede ²  for you, and I will respect him, ³  so that I do not deal with you ⁴  according to your folly, ⁵  because you have not spoken about me what is right, as my servant Job has.” ⁶ 

So the Lord ¹  restored what Job had lost ²  after he prayed for his friends, ³  and the Lord doubled ⁴  all that had belonged to Job.

When ¹  the days of their feasting were finished, ²  Job would send ³  for them and sanctify ⁴  them; he would get up early ⁵  in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to ⁶  the number of them all. For Job thought, “Perhaps ⁷  my children ⁸  have sinned and cursed ⁹  God in their hearts.” This was Job’s customary practice.

then let thorns sprout up in place of wheat, and in place of barley, weeds!” ¹  The words of Job are ended.

So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and he afflicted ¹  Job with a malignant ulcer ²  from the sole of his feet to the top of his head. ³ 

and a messenger came to Job, saying, “The oxen were plowing ¹  and the donkeys were grazing beside them,

Then Job got up ¹  and tore his robe. ²  He shaved his head, ³  and then he threw himself down with his face to the ground. ⁴ 

Now I was paying you close attention, ¹  yet ²  there was no one proving Job wrong, ³  not one of you was answering his statements!

Nowhere in all the land could women be found who were as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance alongside their brothers.

After this Job lived 140 years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
