The setting of Job
Two important issues are the cause and effect of suffering and the justice and care of God.
Job begins by accepting suffering as a part of human life to be endured through trust in God in good and bad times.
He begins to question, facing the theological issues head on.
He illustrates human frustration with problems for which we cannot find answers.
Thus, it is best to simply take the book as a unique work depicting the life of one man and his efforts to understand his God and his own situation in life.

What Job’s friends said
John E. Hartley, The Book of Job, The New International Commentary on the Old Testament (Grand Rapids, MI: Wm.
B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1988), 85.
On learning of Job’s affliction, three beloved friends (Heb.
rēaʿ), Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, agreed together to travel to Uz in order to console Job.
The term for friends has a wide range of meanings, including an intimate counselor (1 Chr.
27:33), a close friend (Deut.
13:7 [Eng.
6]), a party in a legal dispute (Exod.
22:8 [Eng.
9]).
Friends often solemnized their relationship with a covenant, promising to care for each other under all kinds of circumstances.
