    His despair is caused by the fact that no one listens to him, that God has removed all his former prosperity and happiness, and that he is socially isolated – his friends and family have deserted him. BUT he still thinks that beyond death God will see him right, whatever that means.

    wow! such great faith my Job “ For I know my Redeemer lives” – even though all family & friends have rejected Job as they are convinced he must have sinned (although to all + Job the sim is unknown). As the sim is unknown Job holds that God is punishing unjustly + his presumed sin is none of his family/ friends business as any sin is between Job / God . But overall he believes he had not sinned and he believes God is sovereign & Redeemer and so even if Job does he believes he will meet God . Amazing great faith – he blames God but does not go against God.
