Author called the thesis of Markus Saur that the Job Book has a special role in the interpretation of the problem of suffering, but shows also that there is no definitive solution of this dilemma. The article does not refer exegetical-historical discussion about Job, but tries to present a variety of Old Testa-ment interpretation of the problem of suffering. Jobs Book shows also the border of the human wisdom based on the conviction that there is a strait relationship between action and retribution. The Author describes 3 answers on the problem of no fault suffering shown in the Book: 1. Answers of the Jobs Friends, 2. Prologue, 3. Orations of God. At the End of the Part I of the publication, the Writer shows the continuity of the dilemma in the others book of the Old Testament.
