Job
Wisdom Literature
A righteous individual, Job endures catastrophic losses affecting his wealth, family, and health. Despite these afflictions, Job refrains from cursing God. His friends visit to offer sympathy, eventually suggesting that Job’s suffering is divine punishment for hidden sins. Job maintains his innocence, seeking an explanation from God. In the end, God appears, displaying His immense majesty, wisdom, and power. Although God restores Job’s fortunes and health and blesses him with a new family, He does not provide a direct answer to the reasons behind Job’s suffering.
