Job was so sick for so long that they told him it would be better if he just curse God and die.
Some accounts said that they even put Job by the town dump because of his horrible condition and he just wouldn't die.
At first his friends came to visit him and remained speechless for days at the sight of his condition.
God finally healed Job and told him to go bath in a certain river. When He did this he regained his health and became youthful again. God also blessed him by doubling all the things he had before.
