Job and the Just God

International Sunday School February 27 2022 Winter Quarter #13

Job 42:1-6 NIV  Then Job replied to the LORD:  (2)  “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.  (3)  You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.  (4)  “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’  (5)  My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.  (6)  Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”

Job 42:1-6 NIV 

Job 42:10-17 NIV  After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.  (11)  All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the LORD had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.  (12)  The LORD blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys.  (13)  And he also had seven sons and three daughters.  (14)  The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch.  (15)  Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.  (16)  After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.  (17)  And so Job died, an old man and full of years.
