Job

Job is the man in the land of Uz whom the text describes as complete and upright, afraid of God, and turned aside from evil (Job 1:1). The LORD calls him “my servant Job” and describes him as blameless and upright, fearing God and turning away from evil (Job 1:8).

Job is named in at least 50 verses in the book of Job, from Job 1:1 to Job 42:17. He would consecrate his sons and offer burnt offerings according to their number, saying that they might have sinned (Job 1:5). In one scene, Job falls to the ground and worships; the passage says that he did not sin or charge God with wrongdoing (Job 1:20, Job 1:22). Another passage says that the Satan struck Job with painful sores (Job 2:7).

Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar hear of Job's distress and come to mourn with and comfort him (Job 2:11). Elihu waits to speak because the others are older (Job 32:4). The LORD answers Job from the tempest (Job 38:1), and Job answers the LORD (Job 42:1).
