10 After Job had prayed for his friends, God gave him success again. God gave Job twice as much as he had owned before. 11 Job’s brothers and sisters came to his house.

They made him feel better about the trouble the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave Job a piece of silver and a gold ring.
