And they consoled him and comforted him because of all the trials the Lord had brought against him. And each of them brought him a gift of money and a gold ring.So the Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. For now he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.He also gave Job seven more sons and three more daughters.He named his first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren happuch.In all the land no women were as lovely as the daughters of Job. And their father put them into his will along with their brothers.Job lived 140 years after that, living to see four generations of his children and grandchildren.Then he died, an old man who had lived a long, full life.
