Job
I read once that the Book of job was written before the actual Bible, and it occurred even before Moses.
It appears that Job was the first Prophet, and no one knows what land he lived on, its pure modern speculation with no proof.
Job was a good man, of good character, maybe not a religious man, but a firm believer in God, thus he had no doubts about God.
His wife, friends, and such all turned on him, even his children.
God allowed Job to suffer so that Job could experience the hell on Earth that other people were experiencing – note the similarities with Jesus and the other Prophets.
Job passed all the test, and as an old man or a renewed man, he lived another 50 years with a new young wife (Mary, Eve etc), and more than likely she was previously a whore as well, he forgave her and they consummated the marriage and God Blessed them for the rest of their lives.
Job, like other Prophets, was seen as very wise. But the wisdom Jesus and the other Prophets had, was from suffering, being poor, being unfairly victimized, from being hated, scorned, and threatened by many. What they told people of the future as advice and wisdom, was the pure hell on Earth that they had each personally lived. People saw it as wisdom because they had not suffered in such ways and when they did the Prophet had answers to help and save them.
As far as I can make out, every Prophet story in the Bible is a small part of reality, of which a Prophet must live in order to gain wisdom and the ability to hep the people of the future. The Prophets are the true Priests, and they all married the woman who tormented him (except for the women who refused to follow God).
The comments are funny
This is like he is playing the victim, but being supported and protected by the Union, so he gets ahead in life, while those more worthy don’t. Words are just words, they don’t have meaning unless they are active or have been active, especially with love and empathy.
I knew a woman who was full of office jargon, she could rattle of many very important words. Sometimes I would ask her what the words meant that she was often speaking, and she would act shocked, upset, and amazed that I would ask, but also i was clear to thinkers that she had no idea what they meant, they just impressed people.

There is an ancient story where a man was a worker for God, a scribe, and for his efforts God promised him a wife.
The wife saw the scribe as a toad, older, ugly, and not good enough for her, and her family hated him.
But God knew that she was weak-minded, so God persisted. And everytime she got a boyfriend or married God refused to let her consummate the marriage and she would go from abuse to abuse, as God was trying to get through to her that He had already chosen a man for her.
Proud, she had an ego, and a strong desire to please others, so she stubbornly went from pointless abusive relationship to abusive relationship, always following the advice of her haters (she thought that they cared for her) and she always failed. God is stubborn too.
But as the years went by the man got tired of her refusals, rejections and hate, and all his liking for her faded away with her rejections, lies and playing the victim, and also the man saw her with bad men and she did bad things with these men willingly rather than be with God’s good man.
The moral to the story is much like Jonah and the whale, where Jonah ran and ran, and over and over again God stubbornly brought John back to do what God wanted him to do. The Moral is to follow God with all your heart, all your soul, all your love, and all your dedication, and you and those who you come in to contact with will be blessed by God.
