    Job starts off as “the richest man in the East” (5) who is also “a man of perfect integrity, [he] feared God and avoided evil” (5). He constantly stayed loyal to God despite God putting him through a series of great pain: “We have accepted good fortune from God; surely we can accept bad fortune too” (8). It is not until a sudden shift in the book that Job decides to question his views, “God damn the day I was born/ and the night that forced me from the womb./ On that day-- let there be darkness;/ let it never have been created;/ let it sink back into the void” (13). Job is abruptly struck with a great loss and is left with literally nothing; no family, no money, no animals, and no happiness.

    Goodman Brown Journey

    Young Goodman Brown a journey into sin If the story of Job is about one of God’s followers being tested, and his faith is stronger in the end; then Young Goodman Brown is the story of God’s follower who almost loses his faith. Goodman Brown is an example of so many people that I still see today in the church, and it’s of somebody who while is a good and righteous person their faith is mostly in man and not in God. We never understand fully what brings Goodman Brown to the forest on this night, but we all know that the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. The main thing that seems to be driving Goodman Brown is his family, who at the moment only consists of him, and his wife faith.…

    Similarly, Zophar says “Know therefore that God exacts from you less than your iniquity deserves,” expressing the opinion that Job’s sin deserved a sharper punishment, through which view Zophar suggests he knows God’s mind better than Job does. Eliphaz makes similar assertions, and even Job makes a claim concerning the nature of God, claiming he has hidden himself from Job, and has not protected him from “thick darkness,” thus attempting to declare possession of a greater understanding of God’s will. Later, when God appears to them, he rebukes them for thinking they could ever understand the magnitude of his might, asking them rhetorical questions about the creation of the world, and then saying sardonically, “Doubtless you know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!” God goes on to inform Job’s three friends of his anger toward them, and tells them they must redeem themselves for having “not spoken of me the thing that is right.” This indicates that an individual’s words are the first measure by which God judges them.…
