JOB 42

GOD RESTORES JOB’S FORTUNE

After hearing from God, Job repents and confesses God’s dominion. Job acknowledges that God can do all things and that God is too wonderful to fully understand. 

God confronts Job’s friends, telling them they have spoken of God incorrectly. Because Job was faithful and honest with God, the Lord says that Job has spoken rightly about Him, unlike his friends. God tells the friends to offer a sacrifice, and He accepts Job’s prayer on their behalf.

Not only does God restore Job’s previous fortune, but He doubles it! Job’s life, although filled with trials, ends with prosperity, longevity, and happiness. God is so good! 

Job 42:10 - And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
