First of all, I would like to say that I thought that the book of Job was unnecessarily long. It was way too much unnecessary dialog, and all to transmit one message: That Job was being punished by god because he wasn't faithful. I know it's the bible and it needs to be complicated and stuff, but would it kill the author to cut down on the meaningless stuff?
At the end we can see the Job doesn't betray god and therefore we can see a covenant between the both of them, were Job pays his respects, and God returns him all that he had taken from him at first. "[12] So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
[13] He had also seven sons and three daughters."
So, good Job god! (hahaha get it?) you finally redemed yourself, I actually think you are a much nicer guy now! In a way I'm kind of confused with the ending, but I gotta say that I really enjoyed reading this book and I guess I look forward to more! But still, CONFUSING...
