Job
Job was a blameless man who lost everything yet refused to curse God, wrestling honestly with the mystery of suffering.
Job was upright and prosperous when, in a heavenly scene, his faith was tested. In a single day he lost his wealth, his children, and his health, yet he worshiped: “The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away.”
For chapters he and his friends argue over why he suffers. Job protests his innocence and longs for an answer, never cursing God but pressing hard questions to heaven.
In the end God answers not with explanations but with himself, and Job, humbled and restored, says, “Now my eyes have seen you.”
