After careful analysis of all three literary pieces, evidently, suffering is constructed as an opportunity to obtain spiritual redemption as a result of trust in God and to deliver one’s self from current and future suffering. However, on a much larger and broader scale, the three writings in general summarize a core belief from the Bible: “When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles(Moses, Psalm 34:17).

Therefore, women exercised a large percentage of authority in the family. In the cities where family was of little importance as an economic unit and the
