At the end of the book, Job repents in dust and ashes. Of what - who knows. God disciplines those he loves, even those like Job, who, with sinful flesh, but may not express their sins as often as people like me.

I don't understand...discipline for what, being the way He made us, and our actions, and the consequences of those actions?

Many Christians can't make the distinction between discipline and punish. He disciplines those who are in faith, punishes those who are unfaithful.

What most of us don't understand is that except Christ there, are no "Heroes" of the Bible. All of the folks mentioned in scripture were sinners who were declared righteous through faith. (Hebrews)
