   Job 42 , Genesis 6 , Genesis 7   
      
   Job 42   
      
   Job's Repentance   
      
   1Then Job answered the Lord and said:   
   2 "I know that You can do everything,   
   and that no thought can be withheld from You.   
   3 'Who is he who 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 declare to Me.'   
   5 I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear,   
   but now my eye sees You.   
   6 Therefore I abhor myself,   
   and repent in dust and ashes."   
      
   Job's Reply   
   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.   
      
   Epilogue   
      
   7 And so it was, that after the Lord had spoken these words to Job,   
   the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite,   
    "My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends,   
    for you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has.   
      
   (careful what you say)   
      
   8 And now, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams,   
    and go to My servant Job,   
    and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering;   
   and My servant Job will pray for you.   
    For him I will accept, lest I deal with you according   
   to your folly, in that you   
   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 as the Lord had commanded them; the Lord also accepted Job.   
   10 And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends,   
    and also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.   
   11 Then all of his brothers, and all his sisters, and all of those who   
   had been of acquaintance   
    before came to Job, and they ate bread with him in his house, and they   
    consoled him and comforted him   
    for all the adversity that the Lord had brought upon him.   
   Every man also gave him a piece of money and an earring of gold.   
      
   12 So the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning,   
   ( The Lord rewards the faithful)   
   for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels,   
   and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.   
   13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.   
   14 He called the name of the first Jemimah;   
    and the name of the second Keziah;   
   and the name of the third Keren-Happuch.   
   15 In all the land, there were no women as beautiful as the daughters of Job,   
    and their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.   
   16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons,   
   and their sons to the fourth generation.   
   17 So Job died, being old and full of days.   
      
   The Epilogue   
   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.   
      
   (Most likely this happened before the flood)   
      
   Genesis 6   
      
   Man's Wickedness   
      
   1 When men began to multiply on the face of the earth   
   and daughters were born to them,   
   2 the sons of God (demons) saw that the daughters of men   
   were fair and took as wives any they chose.   
   3 The Lord said, "My Spirit will not always strive with man,   
   for he is flesh; yet his days will be a hundred and twenty years."   
   4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days,   
      and also after that, when the sons of God (demons) came   
   in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them.   
    These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.   
   5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth,   
   and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was continually only evil.   
   6 The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth,   
   and it grieved Him in His heart.   
   7 So the Lord said, "I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the   
   face of the earth-both man and beast,   
    and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky,   
    for I am sorry that I have made them."   
   8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.   
   (Noah being faithful and Genetiaclly Pure)   
      
   1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth,   
    and daughters were born unto them,   
   2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men   
   that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.   
   3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man,   
   for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.   
   4 There were giants in the earth in those days;   
   and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters   
   of men, and they bare children to them,   
   the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.   
   5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,   
   and that every imagination of the thoughts   
   of his heart was only evil continually.
