雅各说，我的儿子不可与你们一同下去。他哥哥死了，只剩下他，他若在你们所行的路上遭害，那便是你们使我白发苍苍，悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。
And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
我知道，你万事都能做。你的旨意不能拦阻。
I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
求你听我，我要说话。我问你，求你指示我。
Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
我从前风闻有你，现在亲眼看见你。
I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
现在你们要取七只公牛，七只公羊，到我仆人约伯那里去，为自己献上燔祭，我的仆人约伯就为你们祈祷。我因悦纳他，就不按你们的愚妄办你们。你们议论我，不如我的仆人约伯说的是。
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.
于是毯螅人以利法，书亚人比勒达，拿玛人琐法照着耶和华所吩咐的去行。耶和华就悦纳约伯。
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.
约伯为他的朋友祈祷。耶和华就使约伯从苦境（原文作掳掠）转回，并且耶和华赐给他的，比他从前所有的加倍。
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.
约伯的弟兄，姊妹，和以先所认识的人都来见他，在他家里一同吃饭。又论到耶和华所降与他的一切灾祸，都为他悲伤安慰他。每人也送他一块银子和一个金环。
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.
他也有七个儿子，三个女儿。
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
他给长女起名叫耶米玛，次女叫基洗亚，三女叫基连哈朴。
And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
