Job, confident of his own innocence, maintains that his suffering is unjustified as he has not sinned, and that there is no reason for God to punish him thus.

In the epilogue, God condemns Job's friends for their ignorance and lack of understanding while commending Job for his righteous words, commands them to prepare burnt offerings and reassures them that Job will pray for their forgiveness.

J. B. Curtis in his 1979 paper " On Job's Response to Yahweh ", argues that Job's final responses to Yahweh are a total rejection of Yahweh rather than an expression of repentance, and translates Job 42: 6 as " Therefore I feel loathing contempt and revulsion ( toward you, O God ); and I am sorry for frail man.

The cantillation signs for the large poetic section in the middle of the Book of Job differ from those of most of the biblical books, using a system shared with it only by Psalms and Proverbs.

Maimonides, a twelfth century rabbi, discusses Job in his work The Guide for the Perplexed.

God, according to Elihu, did not single out Job for punishment, but rather abandoned him and let him be dealt with by natural, unfriendly forces.

Conversely, in more recent times, Russian existentialist philosopher Lev Shestov viewed Job as the embodiment of the battle between reason ( which offers general and seemingly comforting explanations for complex events ) and faith in a personal god, and one man's desperate cry for him.

In fact, Shestov used the story of Job as a central signifier for his core philosophy ( the vast critique of the history of Western philosophy, which he saw broadly as a monumental battle between Reason and Faith, Athens and Jerusalem, secular and religious outlook ):

In Chapter nine, Job recognizes the chasm that exists between him and God: “ For he is not a man, as I am, that I might answer him, that we should come to trial together .” Job ’ s regret is that he has no arbiter to act as a go-between ; that Job cannot reconcile himself with God anticipates the need for the Messiah to become incarnate.

One scholar says, “ This person would have to be superior in authority to either party, ”; thus the arbiter for whom Job hopes would himself have to be divine, or else he would no more be qualified to “ lay his hand upon ” God than is Job.

Job again expresses his desire for a witness, and then declares, “ my eyes pour out tears to God, that he would maintain the right of a man with God ”.

The language used earlier is that of a judicial judgement, in which God is both judge of and lawyer for Job.

This interpretation is supported with the argument that there is nowhere else in the book where Job express a wish for bodily resurrection, only for someone to intervene as an " umpire ", a " vindicator ", a " go ' el ", on his behalf as an impartial judge between himself and God in the present.

In Islam, Job ( ايوب ) was a prophet renowned for his endurance ( assumed to be of pain and suffering ).

The book of Job tells the story of an extremely righteous man named Job, who was very prosperous and had seven sons and three daughters.

The " sons of God " and Satan ( literally " the Adversary ") present themselves to God, and God asks Satan his opinion on Job.

Satan answers that Job is pious only because God has put a " wall around " him and " blessed " his favourite servant with prosperity, but if God were to stretch out his hand and strike everything that Job had, then he would surely curse God.

Still Job does not curse God, but instead shaves his head, tears his clothes, and says, " Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return: Lord has given, and Lord has taken away ; blessed be the name of Lord.
