December 4
Introduction
The book of Job is the story of a good man who suffers the loss of his children and property and is afflicted with a repulsive disease. Today’s reading is the concluding chapter to the book which records how Job is restored to his former state with even greater prosperity than before. God reprimands Job’s friends for failing to understand the meaning of Job’s suffering and they are told to make a special offering to avoid being punished. Job prays for his friends as instructed by God, and Job receives the LORD’s blessings.
