Of course.
Job is a very interesting book that attempts to honestly deal with the question
of why bad things happen to good people. In a way, it is a revolt against the

get the figs kicked out of them. And sometimes the evil prosper. Job
represents an understanding of God which nearly borders the heretical.
Personally, I find it one of the most interesting books of the OT.
