Job 42:7-17

The Lord Rebukes Job’s Friends

7 After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz ^athe Temanite: “My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. 8 Now therefore take ^bseven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and ^coffer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall ^dpray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” 9 ^eSo Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the Lord had told them, and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.

The Lord Restores Job’s Fortunes

10 And the Lord ^frestored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job ^gtwice as much as he had before. 11 Then came to him all his ^hbrothers and sisters and all who had ⁱknown him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they ^jshowed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil ^{▼▼Or disaster} that the Lord had brought upon him. And each of them gave him ^la piece of money ^{▼▼Hebrew a qesitah; a unit of money of unknown value} and ⁿa ring of gold.

12 And the Lord blessed ^othe latter days of Job more than his beginning. And he had ^p14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 He had also ^qseven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch. 15 And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job’s daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance ^ramong their brothers. 16 And after this Job lived 140 years, and ^ssaw his sons, and his sons’ sons, four generations. 17 And Job died, an old man, and ^tfull of days.
