Job 42:10-17
American Standard Version
10 And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before. 11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a [a]piece of money, and every one a ring of gold. 12 So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses. 13 He had also seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch. 15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. 16 And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations. 17 So Job died, being old and full of days.

Job 42:10-17
Lexham English Bible
10 Then[a] Yahweh returned Job’s fortune when he prayed to him on behalf of his friends. Thus[b] Yahweh increased all that Job had twice as much as before.[c] 11 So[d] all his brothers and all his sisters and all those who had known him before[e] came to him, and they ate bread[f] with him in his house and showed sympathy to him and comforted him for all the disaster[g] that Yahweh had brought upon him. Then[h] each one gave to him one piece of money, and each one gave to him one ornamental ring of gold.
12 So[i] Yahweh blessed Job’s latter days more than his beginning. Thus he had[j] fourteen thousand sheep and goats and six thousand camels and a thousand pair of oxen and a thousand female donkeys. 13 And he had[k] seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first Jemimah and the name of the second Keziah and the name of the third Qeren-Happuk. 15 And beautiful women were not found in all the land like Job’s daughters, and their father gave to them an inheritance in the midst of their brothers.
16 And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years, and he saw his sons and his grandsons[l] for four generations. 17 Then[m] Job died old and full of days.
