France/Netherlands: 'Job Mocked by His Friends'. Folio from 'Les Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry (The Very Rich Hours of the Duke of Berry)' by the Limbourg brothers (Herman, Paul and Jean), c. 1410 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.
