The COVID-19 pandemic is an epidemic that is shaking the world today. Its appearance unsettled many people, as many people were affected. Like losing a job, a business goes bankrupt, many lives are lost, some countries are hit by a recession, so suffering is created. From this suffering, there are some people or groups who think that the COVID-19 pandemic arises as a result of human sins and violations against God. By using the literature study method, which departs from compiled data obtained from various books and presented in descriptive form, then the study in this article will discuss the Book of Job which describes the suffering that befell the person Job without cause. The three friends responded to Job’s personal suffering as God’s punishment for sin. But he was godly men, fearing God, and shunning evil (1:1). The results of the study of the Book of Job showed that the suffering he experienced was not because God had punished Job personally. It is because God has His own purpose for Him. Thus, it can be concluded that the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic is not the result of human sin.   Pandemi COVID-19 merupakan sebuah wabah yang mengguncangkan dunia dewasa ini. Kemunculannya membuat resah banyak orang, dimana banyak orang yang terkena dampak. Seperti kehilangan pekerjaan, usaha bangkrut, banyak nyawa yang hilang, beberapa negara terkena resesi, sehingga penderitaan pun tercipta. Dari penderitaan tersebut ada beberapa orang atau kelompok yang beranggapan bahwa pandemi COVID-19 muncul akibat dosa dan pelanggaran manusia terhadap Allah. Dengan menggunakan metode studi literatur, yang berangkat dari kompilasi data yang didapat dari berbagai buku dan disajikan dalam bentuk deskriptif, maka kajian dalam artikel ini akan membahas Kitab Ayub yang menggambarkan tentang penderitaan yang menimpa pribadi Ayub tanpa sebab. Penderitaan yang menimpa pribadi Ayub direspon oleh ketiga temannya sebagai hukuman Allah akibat dosa. Tetapi ia adalah seorang yang saleh, takut akan Tuhan, dan menjauhi kejahatan (1:1). Hasil kajian Kitab Ayub ternyata penderitaan yang dialami bukan karena Allah menghukum pribadi Ayub. Melainkan karena Allah memiliki tujuan-Nya sendiri bagi dirinya. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kemunculan pandemi COVID-19 bukan akibat dari dosa manusia.
