Then Job replied to the LORD:

Job.42.1

Then Job answered the LORD and said:

Job.42.1

Then Job replied to the LORD:

Job.42.2

"I'm convinced: You can do anything and everything. Nothing and no one can upset your plans.

Job.42.2

"I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.

Job.42.2

"I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.

Job.42.2

"I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you.

Job.42.3

You asked, "Who is this muddying the water, ignorantly confusing the issue, second-guessing my purposes?' I admit it. I was the one. I babbled on about things far beyond me, made small talk about wonders way over my head.

Job.42.3

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.

Job.42.3

You asked, "Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

Job.42.3

You ask, `Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?' It is I. And I was talking about things I did not understand, things far too wonderful for me.

Job.42.4

You told me, "Listen, and let me do the talking. Let me ask the questions. You give the answers.'

Job.42.4

"You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.'

Job.42.4

Listen, please, and let me speak; You said, "I will question you, and you shall answer Me.'

Job.42.4

"You said, `Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.'

Job.42.5

I admit I once lived by rumors of you; now I have it all firsthand--from my own eyes and ears!

Job.42.5

My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.

Job.42.5

"I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You.

Job.42.5

"I had heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.

Job.42.6

I'm sorry--forgive me. I'll never do that again, I promise! I'll never again live on crusts of hearsay, crumbs of rumor."

Job.42.6

Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes."

Job.42.6

Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes."

Job.42.6

I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance."

Job.42.7

After GOD had finished addressing Job, he turned to Eliphaz the Temanite and said, "I've had it with you and your two friends. I'm fed up! You haven't been honest either with me or about me--not the way my friend Job has.

Job.42.7

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.

Job.42.7

And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.

Job.42.7

After the LORD had finished speaking to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: "I am angry with you and with your two friends, for you have not been right in what you said about me, as my servant Job was.

Job.42.8

So here's what you must do. Take seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my friend Job. Sacrifice a burnt offering on your own behalf. My friend Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer. He will ask me not to treat you as you deserve for talking nonsense about me, and for not being honest with me, as he has."

Job.42.8

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."

Job.42.8

Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you. For I will accept him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has."

Job.42.8

Now take seven young 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 been right in what you said about me, as my servant Job was."

Job.42.9

They did it. Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what GOD commanded. And GOD accepted Job's prayer.

Job.42.9

So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.

After Job had interceded for his friends, GOD restored his fortune--and then doubled it!

Job.42.10

After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before.

Job.42.10

And the LORD restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Job.42.10

When Job prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes. In fact, the LORD gave him twice as much as before!

Job.42.11

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.

Job.42.12

GOD blessed Job's later life even more than his earlier life. He ended up with fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand teams of oxen, and one thousand donkeys.

Job.42.12

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.

Now the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

Job.42.12

So the LORD blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. For now he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand teams of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

Job.42.14

He named his first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch.

Job.42.15

There was not a woman in that country as beautiful as Job's daughters. Their father treated them as equals with their brothers, providing the same inheritance.

Job.42.15

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.

Job.42.15

In all the land were found no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

So Job died, old and full of days.

Job.42.17

Then he died, an old man who had lived a long, good life.

Matt.25.14

"It's also like a man going off on an extended trip. He called his servants together and delegated responsibilities.

Matt.25.14

"Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them.

Matt.25.14

"For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.

Matt.25.14

"Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a trip. He called together his servants and gave them money to invest for him while he was gone.

Matt.25.15

To one he gave five thousand dollars, to another two thousand, to a third one thousand, depending on their abilities. Then he left.

Matt.25.15

To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.

Matt.25.15

And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.

Matt.25.15

He gave five bags of gold to one, two bags of gold to another, and one bag of gold to the last--dividing it in proportion to their abilities--and then left on his trip.

Matt.25.16

Right off, the first servant went to work and doubled his master's investment.

Matt.25.16

The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more.

Matt.25.16

Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.

Matt.25.16

The servant who received the five bags of gold began immediately to invest the money and soon doubled it.

Matt.25.17

The second did the same.

Matt.25.17

So also, the one with the two talents gained two more.

Matt.25.17

And likewise he who had received two gained two more also.

Matt.25.17

The servant with two bags of gold also went right to work and doubled the money.

Matt.25.18

But the man with the single thousand dug a hole and carefully buried his master's money.

Matt.25.18

But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.

Matt.25.18

But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord's money.

Matt.25.18

But the servant who received the one bag of gold dug a hole in the ground and hid the master's money for safekeeping.

Matt.25.19

"After a long absence, the master of those three servants came back and settled up with them.

Matt.25.19

"After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.

Matt.25.19

After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

Matt.25.19

"After a long time their master returned from his trip and called them to give an account of how they had used his money.

Matt.25.20

The one given five thousand dollars showed him how he had doubled his investment.

Matt.25.20

The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.'

Matt.25.20

"So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, "Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.'

Matt.25.20

The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of gold said, 'Sir, you gave me five bags of gold to invest, and I have doubled the amount.'

Matt.25.21

His master commended him: "Good work! You did your job well. From now on be my partner.'

Matt.25.21

"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'

Matt.25.21

His lord said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

Matt.25.21

The master was full of praise. 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let's celebrate together!'

Matt.25.22

"The servant with the two thousand showed how he also had doubled his master's investment.

Matt.25.22

"The man with the two talents also came. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.'

Matt.25.22

He also who had received two talents came and said, "Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.'

Matt.25.22

"Next came the servant who had received the two bags of gold, with the report, 'Sir, you gave me two bags of gold to invest, and I have doubled the amount.'

Matt.25.23

His master commended him: "Good work! You did your job well. From now on be my partner.'

Matt.25.23

"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'

Matt.25.23

His lord said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

Matt.25.23

The master said, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let's celebrate together!'

Matt.25.24

"The servant given one thousand said, "Master, I know you have high standards and hate careless ways, that you demand the best and make no allowances for error.

Matt.25.24

"Then the man who had received the one talent came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

Matt.25.24

"Then he who had received the one talent came and said, "Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

Matt.25.24

"Then the servant with the one bag of gold came and said, 'Sir, I know you are a hard man, harvesting crops you didn't plant and gathering crops you didn't cultivate.

Matt.25.25

I was afraid I might disappoint you, so I found a good hiding place and secured your money. Here it is, safe and sound down to the last cent.'

Matt.25.25

So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.'

Matt.25.25

And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.'

Matt.25.25

I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth and here it is.'

Matt.25.26

"The master was furious. "That's a terrible way to live! It's criminal to live cautiously like that! If you knew I was after the best, why did you do less than the least?

Matt.25.26

"His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?

Matt.25.26

"But his lord answered and said to him, "You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.

Matt.25.26

"But the master replied, 'You wicked and lazy servant! You think I'm a hard man, do you, harvesting crops I didn't plant and gathering crops I didn't cultivate?

Matt.25.27

The least you could have done would have been to invest the sum with the bankers, where at least I would have gotten a little interest.

Matt.25.27

Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.

Matt.25.27

So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.

Matt.25.27

Well, you should at least have put my money into the bank so I could have some interest.

Matt.25.28

Take the thousand and give it to the one who risked the most. And get rid of this "play-it-safe" who won't go out on a limb.

Matt.25.28

"'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents.

Matt.25.28

So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

Matt.25.28

Take the money from this servant and give it to the one with the ten bags of gold.

Matt.25.29

Throw him out into utter darkness.'

Matt.25.29

For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.

Matt.25.29

"For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.

Matt.25.29

To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who are unfaithful, even what little they have will be taken away.

Matt.25.30

"When he finally arrives, blazing in beauty and all his angels with him, the Son of Man will take his place on his glorious throne.

Matt.25.30

And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

Matt.25.30

And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

Matt.25.30

Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

Matt.25.31

Then all the nations will be arranged before him and he will sort the people out, much as a shepherd sorts out sheep and goats,

Matt.25.31

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory.

Matt.25.31

"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.

Matt.25.31

"But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne.

Matt.25.32

putting sheep to his right and goats to his left.

Matt.25.32

All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Matt.25.32

All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.

Matt.25.32

All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate them as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Matt.25.33

"Then the King will say to those on his right, "Enter, you who are blessed by my Father! Take what's coming to you in this kingdom. It's been ready for you since the world's foundation.

Matt.25.33

He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

Matt.25.33

And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.

Matt.25.33

He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left.

Matt.25.34

And here's why: I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, I was homeless and you gave me a room,

Matt.25.34

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

Matt.25.34

Then the King will say to those on His right hand, "Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Matt.25.34

Then the King will say to those on the right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Matt.25.35

I was shivering and you gave me clothes, I was sick and you stopped to visit, I was in prison and you came to me.'

Matt.25.35

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,

Matt.25.35

for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;

Matt.25.35

For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.

Matt.25.36

"Then those "sheep' are going to say, "Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink?

Matt.25.36

I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

Matt.25.36

I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.'

Matt.25.36

I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.'

Matt.25.37

And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?'

Matt.25.37

"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?

Matt.25.37

"Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, "Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?

Matt.25.37

"Then these righteous ones will reply, 'Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink?

Matt.25.38

Then the King will say, "I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me--you did it to me.'

Matt.25.38

When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?

Matt.25.38

When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?

Matt.25.38

Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing?

Matt.25.39

"Then he will turn to the "goats,' the ones on his left, and say, "Get out, worthless goats! You're good for nothing but the fires of hell.

Matt.25.39

When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

Matt.25.39

Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'

Matt.25.39

When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?'

Matt.25.40

And why? Because--I was hungry and you gave me no meal, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,

Matt.25.40

"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

Matt.25.40

And the King will answer and say to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'

Matt.25.40

And the King will tell them, 'I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!'

Matt.25.41

I was homeless and you gave me no bed, I was shivering and you gave me no clothes, Sick and in prison, and you never visited.'

Matt.25.41

"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Matt.25.41

"Then He will also say to those on the left hand, "Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

Matt.25.41

"Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, 'Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his demons!

Matt.25.42

"Then those "goats' are going to say, "Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or homeless or shivering or sick or in prison and didn't help?'

Matt.25.42

For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,

Matt.25.42

for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink;

Matt.25.42

For I was hungry, and you didn't feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn't give me anything to drink.

Matt.25.43

"He will answer them, "I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you failed to do one of these things to someone who was being overlooked or ignored, that was me--you failed to do it to me.'

Matt.25.43

I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

Matt.25.43

I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.'

Matt.25.43

I was a stranger, and you didn't invite me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me no clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'

Matt.25.44

"Then those "goats' will be herded to their eternal doom, but the "sheep' to their eternal reward."

Matt.25.44

"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

Matt.25.44

"Then they also will answer Him, saying, "Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?'

Matt.25.44

"Then they will reply, 'Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?'

Matt.25.45

"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

Matt.25.45

"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

Matt.25.45

Then He will answer them, saying, "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'

Matt.25.45

And he will answer, 'I assure you, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.'

Matt.25.46

"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

Matt.25.46

"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

Matt.25.46

And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

Matt.25.46

And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life."

Ps.18.43

You rescued me from a squabbling people; you made me a leader of nations. People I'd never heard of served me;

As soon as they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cringe before me.

Ps.18.44

As soon as they hear of me they obey me; The foreigners submit to me.

Ps.18.44

As soon as they hear of me, they submit; foreigners cringe before me.

They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds.

Ps.18.45

The foreigners fade away, And come frightened from their hideouts.

Ps.18.45

Ps.18.48

He rescued me from enemy anger, he pulled me from the grip of upstarts, He saved me from the bullies.

Ps.18.48

who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from violent men you rescued me.

Ps.18.48

He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me from the violent man.

Ps.18.48

and rescues me from my enemies. You hold me safe beyond the reach of my enemies; you save me from violent opponents.

Ps.18.49
