Job: Quick Summary

[csberry]

Not so much a story as it is a discussion on why bad things happen to good people. After God and Satan have a talk about why people praise God and are good, they use Job as a test. Job is robbed of his good life and although he curses the day he was born and is very upset, he doesn't lose faith in God. He gets involved in a discussion with 3 of his acquaintances where each gives their thoughts on why Job and others have bad things happen to them. A youth steps forward after them and offers his thoughts on wisdom and trying to decipher God's intentions. Finally, God chimes in and states that there are many things that mankind cannot know or understand. He then makes amends with Job, restores his good life, and blesses the remainder of his life even more than he had blessed the time before the difficulties.
