A shitshow, a blind, arrogant demiurge who's immoral and indefensible actions sparked a subconscious revolution in Jewish thought resulting in Jesus H. Christ himself

Put bluntly, "Y'all righteous think you not getting what you deserve but really y'all faggots gotta be fucking patient and stop questioning God ffs".

Defend God. Do it. If you unironically think God acted justly in Job you're a cuck my man

This. Best book of the Bible.

Insights into the oppressive nature of wage-slavery in a "job" vis-a-vis the Sisyphean existence of Job in the Bible.

is it pleb to read NKJV?
I want to read KJV, but I also want to be able to understand what I'm reading.
Will probably be reading KJV along with it, but realistically I won't do it for the whole thing.

I come here for debate, discussion and recommendations. Sad that you're trying to extract meaning out of the scribblings of a schizophrenic rabbi

They're essentially the same aren't they? With minor updates to words like "Unicorns" that should have seemed goofy at the time.

I think it's the most beautiful book of bible

>>9602216
Prologue & Epilogue were definitely added in later by another author, and are Job's weakest parts.
God's whirlwind speech is glorious though.

>you can't judge the actions of fictional characters

I like Job, I'm not going to sit here and pretend I'm some biblibal scholar but it's fine literature. example:
(Job:3) After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

2 And Job spake, and said,

3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.

4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.

7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.

Nigga The Book of Job was not a true story. It was a myth adopted from Mesopotamia at the time. It helps to know what you're talking about.
