Job answered the LORD and said:
I know that you can do all things,
and that no purpose of yours can be hindered.
I have dealt with great things that I do not understand;
things too wonderful for me, which I cannot know.
I had heard of you by word of mouth,
but now my eye has seen you.
Therefore I disown what I have said,
and repent in dust and ashes.
Thus the LORD blessed the latter days of Job
more than his earlier ones.
(Job 42)
We have quickly traveled through the Book of Job. And the book ends with Job repenting in "dust and ashes" and God blessing Job’s latter days. But Job’s question still remains unanswered, “Why do the good suffer?” The picture today is a wood carving of Job from Germany (18th century).
