My reading is somewhat different. In my reading, Job’s concept of God, the arguments and his interpretation of events are entirely made up in his own mind. He causes his own suffering and he comes to realize this in the end. The truth then sets him free.

Very interesting interpretation — haven’t heard this before. How do you think it relates to that somewhat comical part at the end where everything is restored to Job… but it’s a different set of wife and children
