For I will accept him, lest I deal with you according to your foolishness, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has. 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD commanded them, for the LORD had accepted Job. 10 And the LORD restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed, the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. 11 Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been his acquaintances before came to him and ate food with him in his house, and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. 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.
