After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes^(v) and gave him twice as much as he had before.^(w)

All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before^(x) came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him,^(y) and each one gave him a piece of silver^[a] and a gold ring.

The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys.

And he also had seven sons and three daughters.

The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch.

Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.

After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

And so Job died, an old man and full of years.^(z)
