In context

7And it came to pass after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Thou hast sinned, and thy two friends: For ye have not said anything true before me, As my servant Job has.

8Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, And go to my servant Job, And he shall offer a burnt offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, For I will only accept him: For but for his sake, I would have destroyed you, For ye have not spoken the truth against my servant Job.

— Job 42:9 —

10And the Lord prospered Job: And when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them their sin: And the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before.

11And all his brethren and his sisters heard All that had happened to him, And they came to him, And so did all that had known him from the first: And they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, And wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: And each one gave him a lamb, and four drachma’s weight of gold, even of unstamped gold.
