- 1Then Job answered the LORD, and said,וַיַּ֖עַן אִיּ֥וֹב אֶת יְהוָ֗ה וַיֹּאמַֽר
- 2I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.ידעת יָ֭דַעְתִּי כִּי כֹ֣ל תּוּכָ֑ל וְלֹא יִבָּצֵ֖ר מִמְּךָ֣ מְזִמָּֽה
- 3Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.מִ֤י זֶ֨ה מַעְלִ֥ים עֵצָ֗ה בְּֽלִ֫י דָ֥עַת לָכֵ֣ן הִ֭גַּדְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אָבִ֑ין נִפְלָא֥וֹת מִ֝מֶּ֗נִּי וְלֹ֣א אֵדָֽע
- 4Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.שְֽׁמַֽע נָ֭א וְאָנֹכִ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אֶ֝שְׁאָלְךָ֗ וְהוֹדִיעֵֽנִי
- 5I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.לְשֵֽׁמַע אֹ֥זֶן שְׁמַעְתִּ֑יךָ וְ֝עַתָּ֗ה עֵינִ֥י רָאָֽתְךָ
- 6Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.עַל כֵּ֭ן אֶמְאַ֣ס וְנִחַ֑מְתִּי עַל עָפָ֥ר וָאֵֽפֶר
- 7And 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.וַיְהִ֗י אַחַ֨ר דִּבֶּ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה אֶת הַדְּבָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה אֶל אִיּ֑וֹב וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל אֱלִיפַ֣ז הַתֵּֽימָנִ֗י חָרָ֨ה אַפִּ֤י וּבִשְׁנֵ֣י רֵעֶ֔יךָ כִּ֠י לֹ֣א דִבַּרְתֶּ֥ם אֵלַ֛י נְכוֹנָ֖ה כְּעַבְדִּ֥י אִיּֽוֹב
- 8Therefore 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.וְעַתָּ֡ה קְחֽוּ שִׁבְעָֽה פָרִים֩ וְשִׁבְעָ֨ה אֵילִ֜ים וּלְכ֣וּ אֶל עַבְדִּ֣י אִיּ֗וֹב וְהַעֲלִיתֶ֤ם עוֹלָה֙ בַּֽעַדְכֶ֔ם וְאִיּ֣וֹב עַבְדִּ֔י יִתְפַּלֵּ֖ל עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם כִּ֧י אִם פָּנָ֣יו אֶשָּׂ֗א לְבִלְתִּ֞י עֲשׂ֤וֹת עִמָּכֶם֙ נְבָלָ֔ה כִּ֠י לֹ֣א דִבַּרְתֶּ֥ם אֵלַ֛י נְכוֹנָ֖ה כְּעַבְדִּ֥י אִיּֽוֹב
- 9So 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.וַיֵּלְכוּ֩ אֱלִיפַ֨ז הַתֵּֽימָנִ֜י וּבִלְדַּ֣ד הַשּׁוּחִ֗י צֹפַר֙ הַנַּ֣עֲמָתִ֔י וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֔וּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר דִּבֶּ֥ר אֲלֵיהֶ֖ם יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּשָּׂ֥א יְהוָ֖ה אֶת פְּנֵ֥י אִיּֽוֹב
- 10And 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.וַֽיהוָ֗ה שָׁ֚ב אֶת שבית שְׁב֣וּת אִיּ֔וֹב בְּהִֽתְפַּֽלְל֖וֹ בְּעַ֣ד רֵעֵ֑הוּ וַ֧יֹּסֶף יְהוָ֛ה אֶת כָּל אֲשֶׁ֥ר לְאִיּ֖וֹב לְמִשְׁנֶֽה
- 11Then 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.וַיָּבֹ֣אוּ אֵ֠לָיו כָּל אֶחָ֨יו וְכָל אחיתיו אַחְיוֹתָ֜יו וְכָל יֹדְעָ֣יו לְפָנִ֗ים וַיֹּאכְל֨וּ עִמּ֣וֹ לֶחֶם֮ בְּבֵיתוֹ֒ וַיָּנֻ֤דוּ וַיְנַחֲמ֣וּ אֹת֔וֹ עַ֚ל כָּל הָ֣רָעָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר הֵבִ֥יא יְהוָ֖ה עָלָ֑יו וַיִּתְּנוּ אִ֚ישׁ קְשִׂיטָ֣ה אֶחָ֔ת וְאִ֕ישׁ נֶ֥זֶם זָהָ֖ב אֶחָֽד
- 12So 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.וַֽיהוָ֗ה בֵּרַ֛ךְ אֶת אַחֲרִ֥ית אִיּ֖וֹב מֵרֵאשִׁת֑וֹ וַֽיְהִי אַרְבָּעָה֩ עָשָׂ֨ר אֶ֜לֶף צֹ֗אן וְשֵׁ֤שֶׁת אֲלָפִים֙ גְּמַלִּ֔ים וְאֶֽלֶף צֶ֥מֶד בָּקָ֖ר וְאֶ֥לֶף אֲתוֹנֽוֹת
- 13He had also seven sons and three daughters.וַֽיְהִי שִׁבְעָ֥נָה בָנִ֖ים וְשָׁל֥וֹשׁ בָּנֽוֹת
- 14And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.וַיִּקְרָ֤א שֵׁם הָֽאַחַת֙ יְמִימָ֔ה וְשֵׁ֥ם הַשֵּׁנִ֖ית קְצִיעָ֑ה וְשֵׁ֥ם הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֖ית הַפּֽוּךְ
- 15And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.וְלֹ֨א נִמְצָ֜א נָשִׁ֥ים יָפ֛וֹת כִּבְנ֥וֹת אִיּ֖וֹב בְּכָל הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיִּתֵּ֨ן אֲבִיהֶ֛ם נַחֲלָ֖ה בְּת֥וֹךְ אֲחֵיהֶֽם
- 16After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.וַיְחִ֤י אִיּוֹב֙ אַֽחֲרֵי זֹ֔את מֵאָ֥ה וְאַרְבָּעִ֖ים שָׁנָ֑ה וירא וַיִּרְאֶ֗ה אֶת בָּנָיו֙ וְאֶת בְּנֵ֣י בָנָ֔יו אַרְבָּעָ֖ה דֹּרֽוֹת
- 17So Job died, being old and full of days.וַיָּ֣מָת אִיּ֔וֹב זָקֵ֖ן וּשְׂבַ֥ע יָמִֽים

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
