Job 42:7-17

7It came about 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, because you have not spoken of Me what is trustworthy, 1as My servant Job has. 8Now therefore, take for yourselves 2seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a 3burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will 4pray for you. 5For I will 6accept him so as not to do with you as your foolishness deserves, because you have not spoken of Me what is trustworthy, as My servant Job has.” 9So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord told them; and the Lord 7accepted Job.

10The Lord also 8restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord increased double all that Job had. 11Then all his 9brothers, all his sisters, and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they 10sympathized with him and comforted him for all the adversities that the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave him a 11piece of money, and each a ring of gold. 1212The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; 13and he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys. 1314He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14He named the first Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch. 15In all the land no women were found as beautiful as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them inheritances among their brothers. 16After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations. 1715And Job died, an old man and full of days.
