Job 42:10-17

10After Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored Job’s prosperity and gave him twice as much ⌞as he had before⌟.

11Then all his brothers and sisters and everyone who had previously known him came to him. They ate with him at his house, sympathized with him, and comforted him for all the evil the Lord had brought to him. Each one gave him some money and a gold ring.

12The Lord blessed the latter years of Job’s life more than the earlier years. He had 14,000 sheep and goats, 6,000 camels, 2,000 oxen, and 1,000 donkeys.

13He also had seven sons and three daughters.

14He named the first ⌞daughter⌟ Jemimah, the second Cassia, and the third Keren Happuch.

15Nowhere in the whole country could be found women who were as beautiful as Job’s daughters. Their father gave them and their brothers an inheritance.

16Job lived 140 years after this. He saw his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

17Then at a very old age, Job died.
