“Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that thou canst do every thing, And that no thought can be withholden from thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that I understood not; Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: But now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent In dust and ashes.”
Job 42:1-6 KJV
Job repented and God gave him restoration. God favored Job over his ‘friends.’ Job was not the wicked man, as his friends implied, but genuinely a righteous, man when brought face to face with The Lord of All, cried out “I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
