The Book of Job is the first poetic book in the Christian Old Testament, and can also be found in the Ketuvim section of the Jewish Tanakh.

The Hebrew Book of Job is part of Ketuvim ("Writings") of the Hebrew Bible. Not much is known about Job based on the Masoretic Text. The characters in the Book of Job consist of Job, his wife, his three friends (Bildad, Eliphaz, and Zophar), a man named Elihu, God, and angels (one of whom is named Satan). It begins with an introduction to Job's character-he is described as a blessed man who lives righteously in the Land of Uz. The Lord's praise of Job prompts an angel with the title of "satan" ("accuser") to suggest that Job served God simply because God protected him.

Rich, evocative, and dignified, the King James Version of the Bible remains the favorite of millions of readers and listeners for both inspirational and poetic qualities. This edition of The Spoken Word Bible focuses on four books from the Old Testament.
