In this article, I argue that Job 29 provides an eudaimonic depiction of human happiness whereby virtue, combined with a number of “external goods” is held up as the best possible life for human beings. I compare Job’s vision of the “good life” with an Aristotelian conception of εὐδαιμονία and conclude that there are numerous parallels between Job and Aristotle with respect to their understanding of the “good life.” While the intimate presence of God distinguishes Job’s expectation of happiness with that of Aristotle, Job is unique among other eudaimonic texts in the Hebrew Bible in that expectations of living well are expressed in terms of virtue, rather than Torah piety. In the second portion of the article, I assess Job’s conception of human flourishing from the perspective of the divine speeches, which enlarge Job’s vision of the “good life” by bringing Job face-to-face with the “wild inhabitants” of the cosmos.

在本文中，我认为约伯记29是对人类幸福的大自然描写，认为美德与许多“外部物品”结合在一起，被认为是人类最美好的生活。我将乔布斯对“美好生活”的看法与亚里士多德式的εὐδαιμονία概念进行了比较，并得出结论，就他们对“美好生活”的理解而言，乔布斯和亚里士多德之间有很多相似之处。上帝亲密的同在使约伯和亚里斯多德对幸福的期望区分开来，而约伯在希伯来圣经中的其他许多犹太教教义书中是独特的，因为对生活的期望是用美德而不是摩西五经来表达的。在文章的第二部分中，我从神圣的演说角度评估了乔布斯关于人类蓬勃发展的概念，
