⁷ After the Lord finished speaking to Job, he spoke to Eliphaz the Temanite. He said, "I am angry with you and your two friends. You have not said what is true about me, as my servant Job has. ⁸ "So now get seven bulls and seven rams. Go to my servant Job. Then sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you. And I will accept his prayer. I will not punish you for saying the foolish things you said. You have not said what is true about me, as my servant Job has." ⁹ So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord told them to do. And the Lord accepted Job's prayer. ¹⁰ After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord made him successful again. He gave him twice as much as he had before. ¹¹ All of his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came to see him. They ate with him in his house. They showed their concern for him. They comforted him because of all of the troubles the Lord had brought on him. Each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring. ¹² The Lord blessed the last part of Job's life even more than the first part. He gave Job 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels. He gave him 1,000 pairs of oxen and 1,000 donkeys. ¹³ Job also had seven sons and three daughters. ¹⁴ He named the first daughter Jemimah. He named the second Keziah. And he named the third Keren-Happuch. ¹⁵ Job's daughters were more beautiful than any other women in the whole land. Their father gave them a share of property along with their brothers. ¹⁶ After all of that happened, Job lived for 140 years. He saw his children, his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. ¹⁷ And so he died. He had lived for a very long time.
