Job 42:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

9 Then Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had commanded them. The Lord showed favor to Job.

10 The Lord also restored the prosperity of Job, after he had prayed for his friends; the Lord even gave to Job twice[a] as much as he had before. 11 Then all his brothers and sisters came to him, and all his former acquaintances, and they dined with him in his house. They consoled and comforted him for all the evil the Lord had brought upon him, and each one gave him a piece of money[b] and a gold ring.
