Texts -- Job 42:9-17 (NET)

Context
42:9 So they went , Eliphaz the Temanite , Bildad the Shuhite , and Zophar the Naamathite , and did just as the Lord had told them; and the Lord had respect for Job . 42:10 So the Lord restored what Job had lost after he prayed for his friends , and the Lord doubled all that had belonged to Job . 42:11 So they came to him, all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before , and they dined with him in his house . They comforted him and consoled him for all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring . 42:12 So the Lord blessed the second part of Job’s life more than the first . He had 14,000 sheep , 6,000 camels , 1,000 yoke of oxen , and 1,000 female donkeys . 42:13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters . 42:14 The first daughter he named Jemimah , the second Keziah , and the third Keren-Happuch . 42:15 Nowhere in all the land could women be found who were as beautiful as Job’s daughters , and their father granted them an inheritance alongside their brothers . 42:16 After this Job lived 140 years ; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation . 42:17 And so Job died , old and full of days .
