The main scope of Job is about how believers should have faith
in God, whether in good times or bad times....not whether God
should give Job back his original family members who died.
And who are we to question what God should do? Chapter 1 verse 21
clearly says:And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and
naked shall I return; the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away;
blessed be the name of the LORD."
And chapter 2 verse 10 says: But he said to her, "You speak as one
of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good at the hand
of God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job did not sin
with his lips.
I would still say Job is a shining example to all believers. We
should always believe that God is in control.
And I do not think he is talking merrily with Satan.
And look at Job's rewards...last chapter:
10: And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed
for his friends; and the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had
before.
11: Then came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had
known him before, and ate bread with him in his house; and they
showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the
LORD had brought upon him; and each of them gave him a piece of
money and a ring of gold.
12: And the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his
beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels,
a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
13: He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14: And he called the name of the first Jemi'mah; and the name of
the second Kezi'ah; and the name of the third
Ker'en-hap'puch.
15: And in all the land there were no women so fair as Job's
daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their
brothers.
16: And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his
sons, and his sons' sons, four generations.
17: And Job died, an old man, and full of days.
