Job 42:7-17

42
Chapter 42
7 After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My anger has burned against you and your two companions, for you have not spoken to me what is right, as my servant Job has." 8 And now take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job and offer up a burnt offering on your account. My servant Job will intercede for you, for surely I will lift up his face so as not to do with you disgraceful folly, for you have not spoken to me established as my servant Job. 9 And Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had spoken to them, and the LORD lifted up the face of Job. 10 And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job when he interceded for his companions, and the LORD added to Job all that he had, double. 11 All his brothers and all his sisters and all his acquaintances from before came to him, ate bread with him in his house, shook their heads at him, comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him, and each man gave him one kesitah and each man one gold ring. 12 And the LORD blessed Job's later days more than his beginning, and he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys. 13 He had seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the one Jemimah, the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch. 15 No women as beautiful as Job's daughters were found anywhere on earth, and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers. 16 And Job lived after this a hundred and forty years, and he saw his sons and his sons' sons, four generations. 17 Job died, old and full of days.
