God Restores Job’s Fortunes

10 The Lord (A)restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord increased all that Job had twofold. 11 Then all his (B)brothers and all his sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they (C)consoled him and comforted him for all the adversities that the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave him one [a]piece of money, and each a ring of gold. 12 (D)The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; (E)and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 (F)He had seven sons and three daughters. 14 He named the first Jemimah, and the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch. 15 In all the land no women were found so fair as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers. 16 After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations. 17 (G)And Job died, an old man and full of days.
