Context
42:7 After <0310> the Lord <03068> had spoken <01696> these <0428> things <01697> to <0413> Job <0347>, he said <0559> to <0413> Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <08489>, “My anger <0639> is stirred up <02734> against you and your two <08147> friends <07453>, because <03588> you have not <03808> spoken <01696> about <0413> me what is right <03559>, as my servant <05650> Job <0347> has. 42:8 So now <06258> take <03947> seven <07651> bulls <06499> and seven <07651> rams <0352> and go <01980> to <0413> my servant <05650> Job <0347> and offer <05927> a burnt offering <05930> for <01157> yourselves. And my servant <05650> Job <0347> will intercede <06419> for <05921> you, and I will respect <05375> him, so that <03588> I do not <01115> deal <06213> with <05973> you according to your folly <05039>, because <03588> you have not <03808> spoken <01696> about <0413> me what is right <03559>, as my servant <05650> Job <0347> has.” 42:9 So they went <01980>, Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <08489>, Bildad <01085> the Shuhite <07747>, and Zophar <06691> the Naamathite <05284>, and did <06213> just as <0834> the Lord <03068> had told <01696> them; and the Lord <03068> had respect <05375> for <06440> Job <0347>. 42:10 So the Lord <03068> restored <07622> <07725> what Job <0347> had lost after he prayed <06419> for <01157> his friends <07453>, and the Lord <03068> doubled <03254> all <03605> that <0834> had belonged to Job <0347>. 42:11 So they came <0935> to <0413> him, all <03605> his brothers <0251> and sisters <0269> and all <03605> who had known <03045> him before <06440>, and they dined <03899> <0398> with <05973> him in his house <01004>. They comforted <05110> him and consoled <05162> him for all <03605> the trouble <07451> the Lord <03068> had <0834> brought <0935> on <05921> him, and each <0376> one <0259> gave <05414> him a piece of silver <07192> and a <0259> gold <02091> ring <05141>. 42:12 So the Lord <03068> blessed <01288> the second part <0319> of Job’s <0347> life more than the first <07225>. He had <01961> 14,000 <0505> <06240> <0702> sheep <06629>, 6,000 <0505> <08337> camels <01581>, 1,000 <0505> yoke <06776> of oxen <01241>, and 1,000 <0505> female donkeys <0860>. 42:13 And he also had seven <07658> sons <01121> and three <07969> daughters <01323>. 42:14 The first <0259> daughter he named <08034> <07121> Jemimah <08034> <03224>, the second <08145> Keziah <08034> <07103>, and the third <07992> Keren-Happuch <07163>. 42:15 Nowhere <03808> in all <03605> the land <0776> could women <0802> be found <04672> who were as beautiful <03303> as Job’s <0347> daughters <01323>, and their father <01> granted <05414> them <01992> an inheritance <05159> alongside <08432> their brothers <0251>. 42:16 After <0310> this <02063> Job <0347> lived <02421> 140 <0705> <03967> years <08141>; he saw <07200> his children <01121> and their children <01121> <01121> to the fourth <0702> generation <01755>. 42:17 And so Job <0347> died <04191>, old <02205> and full <07649> of days <03117>.
