Job 42:10-16

10After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.

11All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.

12The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand 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 were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.

16After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
