Job

Job explores the suffering of a righteous man through narrative, lament, debate, wisdom, divine speeches, and restoration. The book rejects the easy claim that severe suffering must always be the direct result of a particular personal sin, exposes the limits of human explanation, and brings the reader finally before the wisdom and sovereignty of the LORD.
