Thus[b] Yahweh increased all that Job had twice as much as before.[c] 11 So[d] all his brothers and all his sisters and all those who had known him before[e] came to him, and they ate bread[f] with him in his house and showed sympathy to him and comforted him for all the disaster[g] that Yahweh had brought upon him.
