This term has been in use since at least 1738, and it refers to Biblical Job.
As narrated in the Book of Job, he had lost his wealth, his children, and his health in a severe test of faith. He had three so-called friends, who tried to console him while telling him that his sorrowful situation was due to his own disobedience to God, so he said: "I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all" (Job, 16:2)
