| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Job |
 | | The Church teaches that the book was inspired by the Holy Spirit. | | | One of the books of the Old Testament, and the chief personage in it. | | | In his lectures on "Babel und Bibel" Delitzsch says that the Book of Job expresses doubt, in language that borders on blasphemy, of even the existence of a just the God. |

| | The Book of Job |
| | Nor may we underestimate the impression we have already that the Book of Job is, as we have been told from the earliest of our childhood teaching, to be that of patience, faithful duty to God, and reward in the end. | | | The books come from the royal court of Judah in the late-seventh/early-sixth centuries B.C.E., counselors to the king and people whose ability and duties put them on a par professionally with the leading figures in the national religion. | | | By explaining the suffering of the godly in terms of chastening, the sages of the book of Proverbs could maintain the validity of their cause-and-effect ethical principle and at the same time the justice of the deity who stood behind it. |

| | The Book Of Job - Introduction |
| | Job longs for a mediator between him and God (9:33; 33:23), and Jesus is one (1 Ti 2:5). | | | The uncertainty of author and date does not nullify the book's inspiration, for it is affirmed in the New Testament. | | | Because the Book of Job is so often neglected, yet presents a valuable lesson and is so highly praised by even people of the world, Christians should certainly take the time to study this portion of God's Word! |

| | Introduction to THE BOOK OF JOB |
| | For instance, there is that famous passage where Jehovah, with devastating sarcasm, asks Job where he was when the foundations of the world were laid, and then (as if merely fixing a date) mentions the time when the sons of God shouted for joy (38:4-7). | | | Job puts forward a note of interrogation; God answers with a note of exclamation. | | | Whether the result was achieved by some supernal sprirtual truth, or by a steady national tradition, or merely by an ingenious selection in aftertimes, the books of the Old Testament have a quite perceptible unity. |

| | The Book of Job |
| | Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. | | | And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. | | | Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God. |

| | Marvin Pope,In Anchor Bible, Job does take this view of verse 13, and Pope points out that Is 26:20 indulges a similar fancy: let the people of Judah hide in their chambers till God's wrath passes. | | | Then three friends of Job heard of his trouble,Eliphaz the Temanite (probably an Edomite.Gen 36.4 says an Eliphaz was the firstborn of Esau,from who descended the Edomites,and Teman was son of Eliphaz:v.11); Bildad the Shuhite (Bildad is a nonHebrew name, perhaps standing for Lord Adad,the storm god.He knows wisdom tradition and uses it against Job. | | | In 7.20 Job also says God frightens him with visions (v.14). |

| | Job was wealthy having seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses. | | | The other verse is the one in Job 31:6, and this filled with such a great message for us: "Let me be weighted in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity." Job was talking to his so-called comforters. | | | He personally feared God and continually led his family in sacrificial worship (Job 1:5). |

| | Theodicies in the Book of Job |
| | Job also realizes at this point that God has never given him a hearing, or at least told Job why he lost everything. | | | Satan counters with the fact that Job reveres God because he is blessed with wealth, protection, possessions and respect. | | | Blaspheme God and die!" (2:9) His response, a verse later, curses his wife for cursing God, and asks her if people should take only the good things from God and refuse the bad. |

| | Job (Iyov) - Torah.org |
| | Job is a book that ranks as one of the most difficult books in theTanach (Bible), for two reasons: | | | There are very few people who go through life with absolutely no sin, and G-d, who is in charge of this world, and is a just judge, most definitely punishes. | | | Everything I do is just, even if you can't see the justice." |

| | USCCB - NAB - Job - Introduction |
| | Job rejects their inadequate explanation and calls for a response from God himself. | | | Man's finite mind cannot probe the depths of the divine omniscience that governs the world. | | | In response to Job's plea that he be allowed to see God and hear from him the cause of his suffering, God answers, not by justifying his action before men, but by referring to his own omniscience and almighty power. |

| | Widely known for his original and definitive versions of spiritual writings and poetry, he has previously translated the Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, the Tao Te Ching, the Gospel According to Jesus, the Book of Psalms and many others. | | | Brilliantly and empathetically read by actor Coyote - who conveys the wonder, anger and suffering inherent in the Old Testament text. | | | Their tests of Job's faith and his own bafflement over God's seeming capriciousness keep us riveted to Coyote's voice as he brings the tale to its conclusion."... |
