Job 42

1 Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

2 I know that thou canst do all things, And that no purpose of thine can be restrained.

3 Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which 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 had 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 Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, Jehovah 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 Now therefore, take unto you 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, that I deal not with you after your folly; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as Jehovah commanded them: and Jehovah accepted Job.

10 And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: and Jehovah 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 concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.12 So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: And 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, Jemimah: and the name of the second, Keziah; 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 And after this Job lived a 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.

욥기 42

욥의 회개

1  욥이 주님께 대답하였다. 2 주님께서는 못하시는 일이 없으시다는 것을, 이제 저는 알았습니다. 주님의 계획은 어김없이 이루어진다는 것도, 저는 깨달았습니다.

3 잘 알지도 못하면서, 감히 주님의 뜻을 흐려 놓으려 한 자가 바로 저입니다. 깨닫지도 못하면서, 함부로 말을 하였습니다. 제가 알기에는, 너무나 신기한 일들이었습니다.

4 주님께서 말씀하셨습니다. “들어라. 내가 말하겠다. 내가 물을 터이니, 내게 대답하여라” 하셨습니다.

5 주님이 어떤 분이시라는 것을, 지금까지는 제가 귀로만 들었습니다. 그러나 이제는 제가 제 눈으로 주님을 뵙습니다.

6 그러므로 저는 제 주장을 거두어들이고, 티끌과 잿더미 위에 앉아서 회개합니다.

결론

7 주님께서는 욥에게 말씀을 마치신 다음에, 데만 사람 엘리바스에게 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “내가 너와 네 두 친구에게 분노한 것은, 너희가 나를 두고 말을 할 때에, 내 종 욥처럼 옳게 말하지 못하였기 때문이다. 8 그러므로 이제 너희는, 수송아지 일곱 마리와 숫양 일곱 마리를 마련하여, 내 종 욥에게 가지고 가서, 너희가 용서받을 수 있도록 번제를 드려라. 내 종 욥이 너희를 용서하여 달라고 빌면, 내가 그의 기도를 들어줄 것이다. 너희가 나를 두고 말을 할 때에, 내 종 욥처럼 옳게 말하지 않고, 어리석게 말하였지만, 내가 그대로 갚지는 않을 것이다.” 9 그래서 데만 사람 엘리바스와 수아 사람 빌닷과 나아마 사람 소발이 가서, 주님께서 그들에게 말씀하신 대로 하니, 주님께서 욥의 기도를 들어주셨다.

주님께서 욥에게 복을 주심
