Job 42

Job responds to YHWH, acknowledging His omnipotence ('I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted' - Job 42:2), confessing his ignorance of things too wonderful for him, and repenting in dust and ashes.[1][2][3][4] YHWH rebukes Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar for not speaking rightly about Him as Job did, commanding them to offer sacrifices and have Job pray for them, which they do and YHWH accepts; then YHWH restores Job's fortunes doubly, blessing him with new children, long life, and prosperity.[1][2][3][4]
