Difficult texts: The submission of Job (Job 42.6)
Interpreting this text as an admission of sin on Job's part makes nonsense of the book for Job is specifically rewarded by God for what he has said. Rather, it is to be seen as recognition by Job of what it means to be human: faith must of necessity be agnostic. This is in the end a comfort.
