Job 42:10-17

10So the Lord restored what Job had lost after he prayed for his friends, and the Lord doubled all that had belonged to Job.

11So they came to him, all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they dined with him in his house. They comforted him and consoled him for all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.

12So the Lord blessed the second part of Job’s life more than the first. He had 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.

14The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.

15Nowhere in all the land could women be found who were as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance alongside their brothers.

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

17And so Job died, old and full of days.
