The Book of Job (Hebrew: איוב) is one of the books of the Hebrew Bible. It relates the story of Job, his trials at the hands of Satan, his theological discussions with friends on the origins and nature of his suffering, and finally a response from God. The Book itself comprises a didactic poem set in a prose framing device and has been called “the most profound and literary work of the entire Old Testament”. The Book itself, along with its numerous exegeses, are attempts to address the problem of evil, i.e. the problem of reconciling the existence of evil or suffering in the world with the existence of God. Scholars are divided as to the origin, intent, and meaning of the book.

- Job (pronounced Jobe or Joeb) is a man who suffered because of a bet between God and Satan.
- The Book of Job is the eighteenth book of the Old Testament and hence it is also the eighteenth book of Bible, despite being the first book of the Bible written down. While canonically following Esther, chronologically it takes place some time during Genesis, or shortly afterwards. The book of Job is a book of poetry, yet it still contains historical elements that concurrently make it a historical account. The book chronicles the situation of Job losing all that he had, while revealing that it was a bet concerning his faith, even in the face of his friends accusing him of a sin he may have committed. With God's permission, Satan takes away everything from Job, hoping he will curse God.
