The Book of Job is a moral tale that unfolds unexpectedly, as Job is transformed from the innocent and righteous victim to a hypocritical and self-righteous sinner. At first Job is portrayed as a most righteous man, recognised as such by God. The only reason for the wrongs done to Job is to prove that even the best man can be made to sin.
After two attempts to have Job curse God have failed, Job's friends defend God, but only young Elihu has the wisdom to really understand the lesson to be learnt. In doing so, Elihu stridently criticises Job for his arrogance and hypocrisy for believing that he is a good person. As the reader begins to understand and agree with Elihu's argument, God takes over and elaborates on Elihu's points, challenging Job to defy him. When Job meekly accepts God's judgement, God forgives him.
Fortunately the Book of Job is only a work of fiction and we are not really expected to emulate him in his righteousness, nor in his failings of hypocrisy.
