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]

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.
