Job
The patience of Job is something of legend. The stage is set in Job 1, where Satan approaches God to talk about the people down on Earth and God directs his attention to Job.
Satan is quick to tell God that the reason that Job worships him is because God has richly blessed him:
- Family (7 sons and 3 daughters)
- He had much cattle
So God decides that to show Satan just how great his servant is, he will let Satan take away all of his possessions.
