JOB'S REPENTANCE

"Job repented, not of any past sins that might have caused his (trouble), but of his mistrust of God in the midst of it. Ultimately, God never answered Job’s questions. Job never actually found out why all of this loss and horror had occurred. It was as if the answer to Job’s queries was simply God’s presence. God was saying, 'If you know Who I am, then you will trust Me. That will be enough.' In the final scene, Job was restored. God triumphed over the mockeries of Satan, Job’s possessions were multiplied and the story was complete."

(R.C. Sproul, What’s in the Bible).
