“Behold now, Behemoth, which I created as well as you;
He eats grass like an ox.

“Will you play with him as with a bird?
Or will you bind him [and put him on a leash] for your maidens?

“His strong scales are his pride,
Bound together as with a tight seal.

“Out of his nostrils smoke goes forth
As from a boiling pot and [as from] burning rushes.

“His heart is as hard as a stone,
Indeed, as solid as a lower millstone.

“He considers iron as straw,
Bronze as rotten wood.

“The arrow cannot make him flee;
Slingstones are treated as stubble by him.

“Clubs [also] are regarded as stubble;
He laughs at the rushing and the rattling of the javelin.

It came about that after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.

Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept him [and his prayer] so that I may not deal with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job has.”

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.

The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

In all the land there were found no women so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
