The Book of Iyov (Job) in the Hebrew Bible.

Right at the heart of the age-old question: Why do bad people prosper while good people suffer?

This is a clear test of one’s worth to be blessed by G-d.

The book begs the question WHY?

Job On G-d’s Mastery Over The Earth

No one has ever lived can tell that he or she fully understands what lies in the future, present or past.

Only G-d knows.

Knowing good and evil is leading to fear of G-d is wisdom. For from it one understands that there is more than meets the eyes…

“Wisdom”

He sets a limit to the darkness, and He investigates the end of everything: the source of gloom and the shadow of death.
28:3
He split open river channels in the rocks. His eye saw every precious thing.
:10
From the waters of the deep He fashioned rivers; He brings secret things out into the light.
:11
[But as for] wisdom: Where can it be found? Which is the place of understanding?
:12
Mankind does not know its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living.
:13
Wisdom: From where does it come? Which is the place of understanding?
:20
[Only] God understands its way, and He knows its place.
:23
and He said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord is wisdom, and refraining from evil is understanding!’
:28

1 For silver has a mine, and gold has a place where it is refined.
2 Iron is taken from earth and copper is smelted from stone.
3 He made an end to darkness, and every end He fathoms-a stone of darkness and the shadow of death.
4 A stream burst forth from the place of its flow; those who cause the foot to be forgotten are removed, yea, from man they are lifted up.
5 A land from which bread emerged, and its place was as though turned into fire.
6 Its stones [were] a place of sapphire, and it had gold dust.
7 A path unknown to brigands and which the eye of a vulture did not see.
8 Proud beasts did not tread it, neither did a lion pass by it.
9 He stretched His hand upon the flinty rock; He turned it over from the root of the mountains.
10 In the rocks, He split rivers, and His eye saw all precious things.
11 He bound up the depths of the rivers, and [from] Taalumah He brings out light.
12 But wisdom-whence will it be found, and where is the place of understanding?
13 No mortal knows its value, and it will not be found in the land of the living.
14 The deep says, “It is not in me,” and the sea says, “It is not with me.”
15 Fine gold cannot be given in its place, neither can silver be weighed out as its price.
16 It cannot be praised with jewelry of Ophir, with precious onyx and sapphire.
17 Neither gold nor glass can equal it, nor is a pure golden vessel its exchange.
18 Coral and crystal cannot be mentioned, and the striving for wisdom [is more precious] than pearls.
19 The topaz of Kush cannot equal it; it cannot be praised with jewelry of pure gold.
20 Now whence does wisdom come, and where is the place of understanding?
21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living, and it is concealed from the winged creatures of the heavens.
22 Destruction and death said, “With our ears we heard its report.”
23 God understood its way, and He knew its place.
24 For He looks to the ends of the earth, and He sees under all the heavens.
25 To make a weight for the wind, and He meted out the water with a measure,
26 when He made a decree for the rain and a way for the clouds [and] the thunders.
27 Then He saw and counted it, prepared it, yea, searched it out.
28 And He said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord is wisdom and shunning evil is understanding.’ “

Divine wisdom or Divine justice may not be evident during the test with hardship and suffering. But, full trust in G-d is the best response no matter how difficult the situation may be or become.
