Job's friends came to talk to him and in long discourses that Job answered, implored to him to admit his sins that caused this. Job could not understand what was happening, but knew it was not due to his sin. He maintained he had been righteous and wished that God would let him know what had happened. Finally God himself came down in a storm to talk to Job. Instead of answering Job's inquiries, He asked Job questions such as "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundations? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions?"<ref>Job 38:4-5</ref>. Job realized he had no answers for God and could not begin to question things he could not understand.

And God blessed Job for all of his remaining years, giving him twice the flocks he had before, a Steven Colbert coffee cup, 7 new sons and 3 new daughters to match the number he had before. (Christian theology often views this as an indication of heaven. Job was only given the same number of children as before instead of double because he would see his original children again in heaven.)
