I think people should remember that Job lived in a pre-law, pre-covenant age. The was no WOF because there was no Bible. When Satan attacked Job, there was no covenant with God to protect him - something that is *not* true today.

The book of Job show's mans relationship to God and Satan in a prelaw state, man has no rights to expect retribution and "justice". It also show's God's natural predisposition to bless, prosper and heal man when he turns to Him.

How much more under the new covenant, can we expect when we turn to Him.

A mediator was Jobs heart desire.

Job 9:33 If only there were someone to arbitrate between us, to lay his hand upon us both,
Job 9:34 someone to remove God's rod from me, so that his terror would frighten me no more.
Job 9:35 Then I would speak up without fear of him, but as it now stands with me, I cannot.

The verses from Job never mentioned in threads about Job.

Job 42:6 Therefore I abhor myself,
And repent in dust and ashes.”
7 And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has. 8 Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you. For I will accept him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD commanded them; for the LORD had accepted Job. 10 And the LORD restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. 11 Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been his acquaintances before, came to him and ate food with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. Each one gave him a piece of silver and each a ring of gold.

12 Now the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys. 13 He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first Jemimah, the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-Happuch. 15 In all the land were found no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations . 17 So Job died, old and full of days.

Thousands of reference by the sickness and poverty mentality folks but they never mention these verses - why?

Will I get a reply to the verses - or just a deflection of the subject?

Okay. But what about righteous man Jesus told about who died in poverty (not to mention the prosperous man who went to hell)?
19 “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. 20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Luke 16)
