On Job Quotes

“Job's hope will be confirmed by the vision of God: “I myself shall see him.”19 Not as an enemy or even a stranger20 but as a friend, someone close to him. Job reaffirms his conviction that he will see God with “his own eyes.” This hope causes his heart (literally, his kidney) to burst—that is, it makes him happy in the midst of his trials.”
