Job finally confesses his humility before God, and God restores him to even greater blessings than before, while his friends repent and Job's family flourishes.
In the final chapter of Job, the afflicted man speaks directly to the LORD, acknowledging God’s limitless wisdom and expressing repentance. The LORD rebukes Job’s friends for speaking incorrectly about Him and commands them to offer sacrifices while Job intercedes on their behalf. God lifts Job’s captivity, rewarding him with double the wealth he once had, and restores his fortunes with vast flocks, livestock, and children. Job’s daughters are described as exceptionally beautiful, and he is given inheritance among them. He lives another 140 years, witnessing several generations, and dies old and full of days. The chapter ends with a sense of divine favor and a complete reversal of Job’s fortunes.
