Feeling crushed and mocked, Job protests that even if he has erred, that is his own concern, and grieves that God has stripped him of honor and turned everyone (family, servants, friends, even his wife) against him. Then, from the depths, he rises to the book’s most famous confession of faith: “I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God,” a hope of vindication, redemption, and even resurrection.
