10  And YHWH changed the fortune of Job, when he prayed for his friends; and the YHWH gave Job twice as much as he had before.

10  And the Lord prospered Job: and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them their sin: and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before.

10  Likewise, the Lord was moved by the repentance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave to Job twice as much as he had before.

11  Then came there unto him all his 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 they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that YHWH had brought upon him; every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.

11  And all his brethren and his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and so did all that had known him from the first: and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachms’ weight of gold, even of unstamped gold.

11  Yet all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and everyone who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house. They also shook their heads over him and comforted him, because of all the bad things that God had inflicted on him. And each one of them gave him one female sheep, and one earring of gold.

12  So YHWH blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

12  And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, more than the beginning: and his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-asses of the pastures.

13  He had also seven sons and three daughters.

13  And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.

14  And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

14  And he called the first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea’s horn.

15  And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

15  And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer women than they in all the world: and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.

15  And, in the whole world, there were not found women so beautiful as the daughters of Job. And so their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.

16  And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

16  And Job lived after his affliction a hundred and seventy years: and all the years he lived were two hundred and forty: and Job saw his sons and his sons’ sons, the fourth generation.

16  But Job lived long after these events, for a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, all the way to the fourth generation, and he died an old man and full of days.

17  So Job died, being old and full of days.

17  And Job died, an old man and full of days: and it is written that he will rise again with those whom the Lord raises up.
