Overview & Insights

"I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you." (Job 42:5)

Job responds to the Lord in humility, acknowledging that he spoke of things too wonderful for him, and the Lord then restores Job's fortunes twofold, blesses his later years, and gives him new family and long life.
