Job 42:10-17
Christian Standard Bible
God Restores Job
10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and doubled his previous possessions.(A) 11 All his brothers, sisters, and former acquaintances(B) came to him and dined with him in his house. They sympathized with him and comforted him concerning all the adversity the Lord had brought on him. Each one gave him a piece of silver[a](C) and a gold earring.(D)
12 So the Lord blessed the last part of Job’s life more than the first. He owned fourteen thousand sheep and goats, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys. 13 He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch.(E) 15 No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance with their brothers.
16 Job lived 140 years after this and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. 17 Then Job died, old and full of days.(F)

Job 42:10-17
International Standard Version
Job’s Prosperity Returns
10 The Lord restored Job’s prosperity after he prayed for his friends. The Lord doubled everything that Job had once possessed. 11 Then all his brothers and sisters and all those who knew him before arrived. They ate food with him in his house, mourned for him, and consoled him for all the trouble that the Lord had brought and placed on him. Some[a] gave him gold bullion[b] and some brought[c] gold earrings.
12 The Lord blessed Job during the latter part of his life[d] more than the former, since he owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen[e] and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 He named the first daughter Jemima,[f] the second Keziah,[g] and the name of the third was Keren-happuch.[h] 15 No one could find more beautiful women in the whole land than Job’s daughters. Their father gave them their inheritance along with their brothers. 16 Job lived 140 years after this, and saw his children and grandchildren to the fourth generation. 17 Then Job died at an old age, having lived a full life.[i]
