Job 42:12-17 LXX (Vespers, 2nd reading)

12
Now the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.
13
He also had seven sons and three daughters.
14
And he called the name of the first Jemimah, the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-Happuch.
15
In all the land were found no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16
After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations.
17
So Job died, old and full of days. And it was also written that he will rise with those whom our Lord shall raise.
