The Lord Restores Job's Fortunes

10 And the Lord (A)restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job (B)twice as much as he had before. 11 Then came to him all his (C)brothers and sisters and all who had (D)known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they (E)showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil[a] that the Lord had brought upon him. And each of them gave him (F)a piece of money[b] and (G)a ring of gold.

12 And the Lord blessed (H)the latter days of Job more than his beginning. And he had (I)14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 He had also (J)seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch. 15 And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job's daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance (K)among their brothers. 16 And after this Job lived 140 years, and (L)saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations. 17 And Job died, an old man, and (M)full of days.

10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes(A) and gave him twice as much as he had before.(B) 11 All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before(C) came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him,(D) and each one gave him a piece of silver[a] and a gold ring.

12 The 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. 13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. 15 Nowhere 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.

16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. 17 And so Job died, an old man and full of years.(E)
