This is a story which all the Abrahamic faith traditions have grabbed on to because it has a fundamental piece of wisdom to it. Sometimes when suffering such as this occurs. it is not just because there is evil in the world or because of our own sin. it is because bad things happen to test us as individuals. Bad things happen and sometimes test us as a country. I look at this refugee crisis as a test. It is a test on whether we. like Job. will be true to our principles or whether we will abandon them. Job was true to his principles. and things came back to him multiplied.
