A more picturesque treatment of Job's bitterness against God is recorded by RabbahBava Batra 16a or Raba:Niddah 52a Job blasphemed God by using the term "tempest" when he said, "For he breaks me with a tempest",Job 9:17 which passage is interpreted by the Rabbis to mean, "Perhaps a tempest passed before Thee which caused the confusion between Job (איוב) and the enemy (אויב). The Talmud records that God had only doubled Job's fortune at the end of the tale in order to deplete the reward that was due to him in the next world (implying that he had failed his test).Talmud Bavli Bava Batra 15b Still, Rabbi's opinion was that Job spoke in praise of God more than Elihu did.Exodus Rabbah 34:1
