It had always bothered him that 'job' and 'Job' are homographs,
i. e., words spelled the same way but pronounced differently
 and having different meanings. But then, one day, he
realized that when the meanings of both words are more 
fully understood, they can definitely resonate, one with
the other.

Becoming the focal point of God making wagers with the Prince of Darkness might not be all that different from a lot of jobs when you think about it from that perspective.
