It is probably one of the oldest of books. It tells the story of Job, a man of great piety and wealth, who suffered extraordinary sorrows. These sorrows were with God's perniisgion applied as tests to Job's character by .Sutan. His three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, came to condole with him, but really criticised him.
