At the end of the book, Job's friends comforted him over "all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him" (Job 42:11 cp. 19:21; 8:4). Thus God is the source of "evil" in the sense of being the ultimate permitter of the problems that we have in our lives.
Mwishoni mwa kitabu, rafiki zake Ayubu walimfariji kwa habari za huo uovu wote Bwana aliouleta juu yake"(Ayubu. 42: 11; 19: 21; 8: 4). hivyo Mungu ndiye chanzo cha 'Uovu’ kwa maana ya kuwa ni wa kwanza kuruhusu matatizo ambayo tunayo katika maisha yetu.
