Each one gave him a piece of money and a gold earring. 12 Now the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning, for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys. 13 He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first Jemimah, the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-Happuch. 15 In all the land, no women were found as beautiful as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers. 16 After this, Job lived one hundred and forty years and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations. 17 So Job died, old and full of days.
