the book of job is about the relationship between man and god. job is just a vehicle to express that relationship. half the book describes jobs suffering. the other half is a massive soliloquy by god explaining the relationship between us and castigating jobs friends for daring to think they know the mind of god. the point in short is that god is not a vending machine where you insert piety and sacrifices and blessings come out. god has his own mind and his own plan for things and it is completely beyond our comprehension.
