the ending and intro appear to be later additions. the "happy" ending is probably not original to the dialouge. job was written, amongst other things, to challenge the kind of folks who say the rich are rich because of God, the poor are poor becuase of sin, etc...and i always get a lot out of it, especially when i'm going trhough a lot in my life. i wouldn't want to only know God through Job, but it's good to know that i can incorporate my anguish in to my faith with out having guilt for those feelings
