Job ultimately condemns all their counsel, beliefs, and critiques of him as false. God then appears to Job and his friends out of a whirlwind. God rebukes the three friends and gives them instruction for the remission of sin, followed by Job being restored to an even better condition than his former wealthy state (Job 42:10–17). Job is ...
This is the only curse that Job uttered, although throughout the book, he gets desperately close to cursing God (the goal expected by the Adversary in Job 2:5), but until the end he never did.

From verse 1 to the middle of verse 3, the narrative practically repeats Job 1:7–8, except for the addition of three Hebrew words at the end of verse 2:1 (להתיצב על יהוה 11] translated: "to present himself before YHWH") and the difference in the Hebrew word used for "from where" (מֵאַ֣יִן 12] in 1:7; אי מזה 13] in 2:2 ...
Zophar only speaks twice to Job, unlike friends Bildad and Eliphaz who each give three speeches.
