France/Belgium: 'Job on the Dung-hill is Tormented by His Wife and Comforted by His Friends'. Miniature painting from the Bible of Jean de Sy by Jean Bondol (fl. 1368-1381), 1372 Job is the central character of the Book of Job in the Hebrew Bible. Job is also recognised as a prophet of God in the Qur'an. The Book of Job begins with an introduction to Job's character. He is described as a blessed man who lives righteously. God's praise of Job prompts Satan to challenge Job's integrity and suggesting that Job serves God simply because he protects him.
