2. I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be hindered.

3. « Quel est celui qui obscurcit le plan divin, sans savoir? » Oui, j'ai parlé sans intelligence de merveilles qui me dépassent et que j'ignore.

3. I have dealt with great things that I do not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I cannot know.

7. Après que Yahweh eut adressé ces paroles à Job, il dit à Eliphaz de Théman: « Ma colère est allumée contre toi et contre tes deux amis, parce que vous n'avez pas parlé de moi selon la vérité, comme l'a fait mon serviteur Job.

7. And it came to pass after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am angry with you and with your two friends; for you have not spoken rightly concerning me, as has my servant Job.

8. Maintenant, prenez sept jeunes taureaux et sept béliers; puis venez trouver mon serviteur Job, et offrez pour vous un holocauste. Job, mon serviteur, priera pour vous, et c'est par égard pour lui que je ne vous traiterai point selon votre folie; car vous n'avez pas parlé de moi selon la vérité, comme l'a fait mon serviteur Job. »

8. Now, therefore, take seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a holocaust for yourselves; and let my servant Job pray for you; for his prayer I will accept, not to punish you severely. For you have not spoken rightly concerning me, as has my servant Job."

11. Then all his brethren and his sisters came to him, and all his former acquaintances, and they dined with him in his house. They condoled with him and comforted him for all the evil which the LORD had brought upon him; and each one gave him a piece of money and a gold ring.

12. Et Yahweh bénit les derniers temps de Job plus encore que les premiers, et il posséda quatorze mille brebis, six mille chameaux, mille paires de boeufs et mille ânesses.
