Job 42:10–17

42:10 Iyov’s doubled restoration

10 After Iyov (Job) had prayed for his friends, Yahweh changed his situation and gave him double what he had before.[ref] 11 Then all of his brothers and sisters and everyone who’d known him before, came to his house and had a meal with him, and they comforted him and consoled him about all the troubles that Yahweh had brought on him. Then they each gave him a silver coin and a gold ring.

12 Then Yahweh blessed the second part of Iyov’s life more than the first, and he ended up with 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 working pairs of cows, and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 He also had seven more sons and three more daughters 14 who he named Yemimah, Ketsiah, and Keren-Hapuk. 15 No one in the whole country was as beautiful as Iyov’s daughters, and as well as their brothers, their father gave them each a piece of land as an inheritance. 16 Iyov lived another 140 years after all that, and was even able to see his great-grandchildren. 17 Then Iyov died in good circumstances and at a very old age.
