PART III.

THE CONCI USION IN PROSE. Vs. 7-16

7 And it came to pass after JEHOVAH had spoken these words to Job, that JEHOVAH said to Eliphaz the Temanite, 'My wrath is kindled against thee and thy two friends, for ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as my servant Job 8 hath. Therefore take for yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job and offer for yourselves a burntoffering; and Job my servant shall pray for you-for to him will I have regard-lest I should recompense to you your folly. For ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as 9 my servant Job hath.' So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as JEHOVAH Commanded them; and JEHOVAH had respect to 10 Job. And JEHOVAH turned the captivity of Job when he prayed

for his friends, and JEHOVAH gave him double of what he had 11 before. Then came to him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and ate bread with him in his house; and they condoled with him and comforted him over all the evil that JEHOVAH had brought upon him; and every one 12 gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold. So JEHOVAH blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a 13 thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses. He had also 14 seven sons and three daughters. And he called the name of the

first Jemima, of the second Kezia, and of the third Keren15 happuch. And in all the land were no women found so beautiful

as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inherit16 ance among their brethren. And Job lived after this an hun

dred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even 17 four generations. And Job died, being old and full of days
