The Book ofJob
Old Testament · Book 18 of 66 · 42 chapters · 1,070 verses
Job is the Bible's deepest wrestle with undeserved suffering. A blameless man loses everything, sits in ashes, and refuses easy answers — from his friends or himself. God answers from the whirlwind not with explanations but with Himself, and Job's fortunes are restored double.
