New American Standard Bible
God Restores Job’s Fortunes
10 The Lord also (A)restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord increased double all that Job had. 11 Then all his (B)brothers, 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)sympathized with him and comforted him for all the adversities that the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave him a [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 fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys. 13 (F)He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 He named the first Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch. 15 In all the land no women were found as beautiful as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them inheritances 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.
