Isaiah 58:8-10
Then the light of my blessing will shine on you like the rising sun. I will heal you quickly. I will march out ahead of you. And my glory will follow behind you and guard you. That’s because I always do what is right.You will call out to me for help. And I will answer you. You will cry out. And I will say,‘ Here I am.’“ Get rid of the chains you use to hold others down. Stop pointing your finger at others as if they had done something wrong. Stop saying harmful things about them.Work hard to feed hungry people. Satisfy the needs of those who are crushed. Then my blessing will light up your darkness. And the night of your suffering will become as bright as the noonday sun.

Job 42:11-17
All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came to see him. They ate with him in his house. They showed their concern for him. They comforted him because of all the troubles the Lord had brought on him. Each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.The Lord blessed the last part of Job’s life even more than the first part. He gave Job 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels. He gave him 1,000 pairs of oxen and 1,000 donkeys.Job also had seven sons and three daughters.He named the first daughter Jemimah. He named the second Keziah. And he named the third Keren- Happuch.Job’s daughters were more beautiful than any other women in the whole land. Their father gave them a share of property along with their brothers.After all of that happened, Job lived for 140 years. He saw his children, his grandchildren and his great- grandchildren.And so Job died. He had lived for a very long time.
