Do the best books of the (Hebrew) Bible compare in literary quality with the Homeric epics? Do books like Job perhaps even surpass Homer?

A comparable metaphoric image to anchor the discussion in could be - what do you like best as an image of dawn?:
Homer: rhododáktulos Ēṓs/rosy-fingered Dawn
the Joban poet: bə‘ap̄‘appê šāḥar/eyelids of dawn

Discuss.

There is no point to anything and the universe is going to end. Therefore fuck it. Experience life to its fullest and make it the best experience possible.

With that said what books should I read?
