What is Job?

Job was a pious man who suffered one undeserved misfortune after another. He lost his prosperity and his family and was then stricken with painful sores all over his body. In response, he dared to challenge God, protesting about his suffering, and asking why God allowed it. In Night, when Eliezer loses his faith, he resembles Job; he doubts the justice of God.
