The book of Job doesn’t really have a ‘resolution’. Not a satisfactory one. There is a short ‘happy ending’, but it’s only partially happy: Job gets more sons and daughters to replace the ones he lost, but does that make it all right? God has revealed his power and might to Job, and Job realizes he can’t compete; but does even that make it all right? That might conceivably just leave you with the Stoics: It’s all fixed, you can’t do anything, you might as well put up with it.
