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 consistent even in his suffering, God tells Job that what he has believed about God has been correct. God allows Job to say a prayer and provide an offering to atone for the ignorance of his friends. 

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.
