וַיֹּאכְל֨וּ עִמּ֣וֹ לֶחֶם֮ בְּבֵיתוֹ֒
and,ate with=him/it food/grain/bread in/on/at/with,house,his
Eating a meal with Job in his home was a symbolic action that acknowledged Job’s restored place in the community. Job had complained in 30:10 about how people were staying away from him a symbolic action that conveyed disrespect and disapproval. Job’s family and friends were now showing respect and approval. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: “and they ate bread with him in his house to show their respect for him and their approval of him”

and,showed_~_sympathy to=him/it and,comforted DOM=him/it

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הָ֣רָעָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־הֵבִ֥יא יְהוָ֖ה
the,evil which/who he/it_brought YHWH

42:11 Although Job was restored, he still needed to be consoled and comforted for the loss of his children. Following Job’s own earlier practice (4:4; 16:5), his family and former friends took up where the three other friends left off (2:11; cp. 2 Cor 7:6).
• The gift of money was not so much charity to provide a financial basis for Job’s restored fortune as it was to honor and seek the favor of an influential man (e.g., Prov 18:16), and perhaps even to assuage disfavor (e.g., Gen 32:20; 33:10; 43:11; 1 Sam 25:27).
• A gold ring was worn in a woman’s nose (Gen 24:47; Prov 11:22; Isa 3:21) or on the ears of either men or women (Gen 35:4; Exod 32:2-3; Judg 8:24).
