The story in children’s words

Job called his friends "miserable comforters," because their words crushed him instead of helping him. He said his witness was in heaven, and his eyes poured out tears to God. Bildad said the light of the wicked will be put out, but Job begged his friends, "Have pity on me, for the hand of God has touched me." Then Job spoke his greatest words of hope: "I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand on the earth. After my skin is destroyed, I will see God in my flesh, with my own eyes." The psalm says, "I waited patiently for the LORD; He heard my cry and set my feet on a rock." Paul closed his letter by saying, "Watch, stand firm in the faith, be strong, and do everything in love." Job's Redeemer is Jesus, who lives forever and will one day be seen by all His people.
