Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Though he is afflicted, Job yet believes that his redeemer lives.

Answer: True

Job says in Job 19:25 "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth."

2. Though he is afflicted, Job does not question God.

Answer: False

Job questions God and begs him for an answer for his suffering, but when God does answer, all of his questions are silenced.

3. Though he is afflicted, Job does not curse God.

Answer: True

Job is bewildered by his sufferings and begs for an answer from God, but he does not curse Him.

4. Who advises Job to curse God?

Answer: His wife

"Curse God and die," she advises.

5. Who is the youngest of Job's advisors?

Answer: Elihu

Because of his youth, he holds his tongue until all others have spoken.

6. What adjective does Job use to describe his comforters (in the King James translation)?

Answer: miserable

They are all "miserable comforters" because they offer him no real solace.

7. Job was righteous in his own eyes.

Answer: True

Job 32:1 says this of Job, but it so happens he was also righteous in deed.

8. Why does God allow Job to suffer, as in the most popular interpretation?

Answer: To prove a point to Satan

Satan bets God that Job will curse Him if he is allowed to suffer. God desires to prove to Satan that this accusation is not true.

9. Why does God tell Job he allowed him to suffer?

Answer: He does not give Job a reason

God does not answer Job, other than to say, in effect, "Who are you to question me?"

10. When did Job most likely live?

Answer: In the time of the Patriarchs

Clues from the story indicate he lived before the law (he, and not a priest, is performing a sacrifice). His life style accords most nearly with that of the Patriarchs. Cain and Abel's time is too early.
