Have you noticed my servant Job, and that there is no one on earth like him, blameless and upright, fearing God and avoiding evil? (Job 2, 8) These are the words spoken from the Lord to Satan about the great man named Job. Although he says that there was no one else in the world like Job, Job was still the one chosen to suffer. Job did not deserve this hardships, unlikne mankind, and did not have a need to repent. Job did not deserve any of the hardships and perils that were placed upon him. It seems that all that was done to him was for God to prove a point.
For in his conversation with Satan, Satan proclaims Is it for nothing that Job is God-fearing?… You have blessed the work of his handsBut now put forth your hand and touch anything that he has and surely he will blaspheme you to your face. The Lord then replied, Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not lay a hand upon his person. After the first trial, the Lord changed his mind and decided to allow Satan to do anything to him but he must spare his life. This was not right. No one should suffer, especially when the person has done nothing wrong, for the point of others. Although he suffered for the Lord, he should not have had to in the first place. The Lord even said that Job was blameless and upright, that he was god fearing and avoided evil. Now, no person like this deserves to suffer.
Mankind deserves the same hardships that Job suffered, for the world would not know compassion without suffrage. Many of the citizens in todays world are not as upright and honest as they were back in Jobs time. Because of this their punishments should be even worse than what Job experienced, if you were going by the Doctrine of Retribution.

Job did not really have a need to repent. He did not have anything to repent for, being as how he did nothing wrong. Even while he was suffering, he never talked against God. He said that God had given him everything that he had, so God had the right to take it away. He talked against himself, saying curse the day that he was born and that he should die. All throughout his trials he praised God. When the three counselors came and urged him to repent, he would praise God and say that he wanted to take it up with the Lord.
Job was a kind, compassionate person who did not deserve the hardships that were placed upon him. Mankind, on the other hand, is a world that generally takes things for granted and has no compassion for others. So in turn they need suffrage in order to learn compassion. One may think that Jobs repentance was not necessary, for he had nothing to repent for. I have heard of you by word of mouth, but now my eye has seen you. Therefore I disown what I have said, and repent in dust and ashes. (Job 42, 5-6)
