Wisdom Class 7: Job 42 and Review

The required reading for Sunday, May 23 is Job chapter 42 and a review of our past classes

Bible Reading Assignment
For Sunday, we'll be reviewing the three friends rebuked, Job restored and review the entirety of the book:
5) Job is vindicated (42:7-17)
    a) God rebukes the three friends
    b) Job’s blessings are returned
6) Review book of Job

God corrects Job’s three friends. He says that they were not right in what they had said. Though Job had no right to blame God for his affliction, and he had to right to demand an answer from God, he was right in saying he had not done some great sin.

Job’s trials are now over and God restored the fortunes of Job by giving him twice the wealth he had before. His family and acquaintances came before him to show their respect as they had in times past. Job had seven sons and three daughters to take the place of those he had lost at the beginning.
