Questions about Job

The Book of Job never attempts to answer that question. It's left open.

what we see as as job being ruined, maybe God sees as being strengthened,

the bible tells us we will be tested, to endure to the end, we are to find joy in trials and come out stronger because of them. I know easier said then done, But Look at all Paul went thorough and he was singing in prison.

We have to pay attention to the answers that the Book of Job itself gives, and the way they are given, setting aside our own speculative answers.
