⁷And then^f after Yahweh spoke these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath has been kindled^g against you^h and against the two of your friends, for youⁱ have not spoken to me what is right as my servant Job has. ⁸So 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 you^m according to your folly, for youⁿ have not spoken to me what is right as my servant Job has.”

⁹So^o 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

¹⁰Then^q Yahweh returned Job’s fortune when he prayed to him on behalf of his friends. Thus^r Yahweh increased all that Job had twice as much as before.^s ¹¹So^t all his brothers and all his sisters and all those who had known him before^u came to him, and they ate bread^v with him in his house and showed sympathy to him and comforted him for all the disaster^w that Yahweh had brought upon him. Then^x each one gave to him one piece of money, and each one gave to him one ornamental ring of gold.

¹²So^y Yahweh blessed Job’s latter days more than his beginning. Thus he had^z fourteen thousand sheep and goats and six thousand camels and a thousand pair of oxen and a thousand female donkeys. ¹³And he had^a seven sons and three daughters. ¹⁴And he called the name of the first Jemimah and the name of the second Keziah and the name of the third Qeren-Happuk. ¹⁵And 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.

¹⁶And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years, and he saw his sons and his grandsons^b for four generations. ¹⁷Then^c Job died old and full of days.
