Job 42:10-17
1599 Geneva Bible
10 ¶ Then the Lord turned the [a]captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice so much as he had before.
11 Then came unto him all his [b]brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house, and had compassion on him, and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him, and every man gave him a [c]piece of money, and everyone an earring of gold.
12 So the Lord blessed the last days of Job more than the first: for he had [d]fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13 He had also seven sons, and three daughters.
14 And he called the name of one [e]Jemimah, and the name of the second [f]Keziah, and the name of the third [g]Keren-Happuch.
15 In all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16 And after this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his son’s sons, even four generations.
17 So Job died, being old, and full of days.
