Job 42:10-17

The Voice

¹⁰ The Eternal restored the fortunes of Job after he prayed for his friends; He even doubled the wealth he had before. ¹¹ All of his brothers and sisters, along with those he had known earlier, came and shared meals with him at his house. They sympathized with him and consoled him regarding the great distress the Eternal had brought on him. Each guest gave him a sum of money and each, a golden ring. ¹² The Eternal One blessed the last part of Job’s life even more than the first part. He went on to possess 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. ¹³ He also fathered 7 more sons and 3 more daughters. ¹⁴ He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch. ¹⁵ Nowhere in all the land could one find women as captivatingly beautiful as Job’s daughters, or as independently wealthy: their father gave them each a share of the family inheritance along with their brothers. ¹⁶ After all this, Job lived 140 years. He lived to see his children and their children and so on, to the fourth generation. ¹⁷ Then Job died, old, and satisfied with his days.
