Job

The story of a blameless man named Job who loses his children, his wealth, and his health, and then argues about it. Most of the book is poetry: Job insists he has done nothing to deserve this, three friends take turns telling him he must have, a younger man named Elihu speaks last, and then God answers out of a whirlwind with questions of his own about the sea, the stars, the wild animals, and two creatures called Behemoth and Leviathan. It opens and closes with plain narrative, ending with Job praying for his friends and receiving twice what he had before.
