At a time when it seemed that his life was coming to an end, he had the comfort of knowing that he had done his best to help others, that he had held to Jehovah’s righteous standards, and that he had avoided any form of false worship. ​ — Job 31: 4 - 11.
כשנדמה היה שמותו קרוב, הוקל לאיוב מעצם הידיעה שעשה את מיטבו למען הזולת, שדבק בעקרונות הצדק של יהוה ושנמנע מכל פולחן כזב (‏ איוב ל ” א: ​ 4 – 11 ,‏ 26 – 28‏) .‏
