What Happened to Job’s Wife?

I would like to know what happened to Job’s wife. I know what kind of woman she was, but I don’t know whatever happened to her. Thank you, Kartinia Morton, Washington, D.C.

The Bible does not address what became of Job’s wife. In the conclusion of the Book of Job (chapter 42), Job was wonderfully blessed by God, which offset Job’s former losses. Job’s physical wealth doubled. Also, Job was blessed with seven sons and three daughters. The mother of a godly man’s children is the man’s wife. Since there is no indication that Job, for whatever reason, married a different wife than the one mentioned earlier in the Book of Job, apparently she enjoyed the same blessings Job did, especially the ten children. Otherwise, respecting details we wish we knew that the Bible does not address, we must take Deuteronomy 29:29 to heart, which says: “The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.”
