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.

Job 42:10-17
Common English Bible
10 Then the Lord changed Job’s fortune when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord doubled all Job’s earlier possessions. 11 All his brothers, sisters, and acquaintances came to him and ate food with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him concerning all the disaster the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a qesitah[a] and a gold ring. 12 Then the Lord blessed Job’s latter days more than his former ones. He had fourteen thousand sheep, 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 one Jemimah,[b] a second Keziah,[c] and the third Keren-happuch.[d] 15 No women in all the land were as beautiful as Job’s daughters; and their father gave an inheritance to them along with their brothers. 16 After this, Job lived 140 years and saw four generations of his children. 17 Then Job died, old and satisfied.
