I am reading this book for the first time, and I find it very confusing. It seems so far, 13 chapters into it, that at this point, Job is physically ill, his children died, and he is crying out to God, expressing grief for his situation, and his friends insist it is because he is being punished for sin. Yet the opening chapter makes it clear he is a righteous man, and he is defending himself, and suggests that God is soveriegn and this is a test. But I am not sure, the poetic language used makes it difficult.
Could someone post a brief outline of this book, or direct me to a link that explains it? Thanks.
