Job

Job 42:10–16

¹⁰After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions. ¹¹All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver^c and a gold ring.

¹²So the LORD blessed Job’s latter days more than his first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. ¹³And he also had seven sons and three daughters. ¹⁴He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch. ¹⁵No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers.

¹⁶After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
