Job’s Prosperity Returns

10 The Lord restored Job’s prosperity after he prayed for his friends. The Lord doubled everything that Job had once possessed. 11 Then all his brothers and sisters and all those who knew him before arrived. They ate food with him in his house, mourned for him, and consoled him for all the trouble that the Lord had brought and placed on him. Some[a] gave him gold bullion[b] and some brought[c] gold earrings.

12 The Lord blessed Job during the latter part of his life[d] more than the former, since he owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen[e] and 1,000 female donkeys.
