The Book of Jeremiah (Hebrew ירמיהו, Yermihàu; Greek Ιερεμίας, Ieremías; Latin Ieremias) is a text contained in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.

It is written in Hebrew and, according to the hypothesis most shared by scholars, the final writing of the book took place in Judea in 5th century BC, based on previous oracles attributed to the prophet Jeremiah, active in the Kingdom of Judah between about 626-586 BC.

It consists of 52 chapters and, in addition to the typical themes of the Hebrew prophets (fidelity to God, contempt for the nations and pagan idols), the specific theme of the book is that of the invitation to submission to the Neo-Babylonian Empire, which was not followed by King Ioiakim and the ruling class and which led to the deportation and exile from Babylon. God, through Jeremiah, wants to announce to his people the will that they, free from all ambitions of a powerful nature, be a faithful people, completely entrusted to his paternity, under which they can live in harmony defending the right of all.

The Book of Job (Hebrew איוב; Greek Ιώβ; Latin Iob) is a text contained in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.

According to the sixth-century prophet Ezekiel, Job was a man of antiquity renowned for being a righteous man, and therefore the author of the book may have chosen him as a character in a wisdom story, a parable. The hypothesis that Job is merely a character in a story is also suggested by the name itself, which means "the persecuted one" and was discussed as early as antiquity by both Jews in the Babylonian Talmud and Christians.

The anonymous author was almost certainly an Israelite, although he set the story outside of Israel, in southern Edom or northern Arabia, making allusion to places as far apart as Mesopotamia and Egypt. Some narrative details suggest that the author had in mind the story of the Babylonian king Nabonides, who resided in the oasis of Tema between 550 and 540 BC due to a severe skin disease.

The book consists of 42 chapters describing the story of the wise Job, whose life is tested by inexplicable tribulations, with extensive meditations contained in dialogues with his three friends on why God allows evil to the righteous man (see Theodicy).
