Malbim on Job

The Talmud (TB Berachot 17a) relates that whenever Rabbi Yochanan finished reading the Book of Job he would say: "The end of man is death and the beast’s end is slaughter; all are candidates for death. Happy is he who grew in Torah and labored in Torah; who gratifies his Maker’s spirit; who grows in repute and departs the world with a good name. Of such a one did Solomon say: ‘A good name is better than the finest oil; and the day of death than the day of birth’ (Ecclesiastes 7:1).
