Job 42:11
Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
The verse belongs to the account of Job's restoration after suffering that was not caused by a sinful way of life. At that time all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before returned to him and ate bread with him in his house, and they mourned with him and comforted him over the calamity that had come upon him, each one giving him a piece of money and an earring of gold. That suffering had been permitted by the Lord and inflicted by Satan, who stripped Job of all he possessed, broke his family ties, took his children from him, and for a time covered his body with loathsome sores that caused him great suffering.
His friends tried to make him admit that his afflictions had come by his own sinful course and sought to prove him guilty before God and deserving of punishment, but Job denied the charge and called them miserable comforters. By their false accusations they brought a grievous test upon him and placed God in a false light. Yet Job did not swerve from his loyalty but endured patiently with faith that when tried he would come forth as gold. By that patient endurance he vindicated his own character and thus the character of God whose representative he was.
His severe losses did not mean that God had forsaken him. When a faithful servant suffers loss and unfeeling treatment, God in heaven marks the unjust decisions against him, takes his case into His own hands, and returns the blessings that were removed, as He did for faithful Job. He will not utterly forget nor forever forsake those who have been faithful, even if they sometimes commit errors, but in His time lifts him up and shows him greater favor than before. God rewarded His faithful servant by reversing his loss, doubling his former possessions and making his latter end more blessed than his beginning. That restoration raised him above his former health of body, clearness and strength of mind, and freedom of spirit, and put means in his hands to give freely to others.
