Job 42:9
Hebrew Bible
8 So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job will intercede for you, and I will respect him, so that I do not deal with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken about me what is right, as my servant Job has.” 9 So they went, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and did just as the Lord had told them; and the Lord had respect for Job. 10 So the Lord restored what Job had lost after he prayed for his friends, and the Lord doubled all that had belonged to Job. 11 So they came to him, all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they dined with him in his house. They comforted him and consoled him for all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.

LXX Job 42:11
Septuagint
8 But now, take seven calves and seven rams and go forth to my servant Job, and he shall make a burnt offering for you. And Job, my servant, shall pray for you, because except that I receive his face, except for his sake perhaps I might destroy you, for you did not speak the truth concerning my servant Job.” 9 Then Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went forth and did as the Lord ordered them, and he released their sin because of Job. The Lord Blesses Job 10 And the Lord brought prosperity to Job. And when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave their sin, and the Lord gave twice as much as was before to Job by doubling. 11 And all his brothers and sisters heard all the things that had happened to him, and they came to him, and all who as much as knew him from the beginning. And eating and drinking with him, they encouraged him and marveled at all that the Lord brought on him. And they gave him each a single lamb and a gold and unmarked coin of four drachmas.

Notes and References
"... There are relatively few instances of omission in 42:7–17 that are the result of G’s attempt to bring the Epilogue into closer agreement with the Prologue. These are noted by print in italics among omissions marked in the NRSV column and are three in number. They are discussed immediately below. Ziegler’s edition prints the conflated, ecclesiastical text. There, following Origen, are two, more major omissions: verse 8e (“because only his face will I accept”) and verse 16cde ([c] “and Iob saw his sons [d] and the sons of his sons, a fourth generation, [e] and Iob died, old and full of days.”) These do not concern us because G does not intend, by their omission, to make the Epilogue more closely conform to the Prologue. ..."
