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.
