Job 42:7–17

And thenf after Yahweh spoke these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath has been kindledg against youh and against the two of your friends, for youi have not spoken to me what is right as my servant Job has. So then,j take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job will pray for you,k for I will certainly accept his prayer,l so that it will not be done with youm according to your folly, for youn have not spoken to me what is right as my servant Job has.”

Soo Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did just as Yahweh had told them, and Yahweh accepted Job’s prayer.p

10 Thenq Yahweh returned Job’s fortune when he prayed to him on behalf of his friends. Thusr Yahweh increased all that Job had twice as much as before.s 11 Sot all his brothers and all his sisters and all those who had known him beforeu came to him, and they ate breadv with him in his house and showed sympathy to him and comforted him for all the disasterw that Yahweh had brought upon him. Thenx each one gave to him one piece of money, and each one gave to him one ornamental ring of gold.

12 Soy Yahweh blessed Job’s latter days more than his beginning. Thus he hadz fourteen thousand sheep and goats and six thousand camels and a thousand pair of oxen and a thousand female donkeys. 13 And he hada seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first Jemimah and the name of the second Keziah and the name of the third Qeren-Happuk. 15 And beautiful women were not found in all the land like Job’s daughters, and their father gave to them an inheritance in the midst of their brothers.

16 And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years, and he saw his sons and his grandsonsb for four generations. 17 Thenc Job died old and full of days.
