From the first verse we are told that Job lives in the land of Uz, but not who he is. Yet, when you compare scripture with scripture you see many clues. Lamentations 4:21 tells us the land of Uz is where Edom dwells. Job's name means hated.

Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

The parallels between Jacob and Job are many. In Deuteronomy 32:10 we are told Jacob is the apple of God's eye. In Job 1:8 God tells Satan that Job is special. In Deuteronomy 32:15 Jacob is called Jeshurun, being interpreted means the upright one. This is what Job is called in Job 1:1. Jacob falls from grace in Deuteronomy 32:15 because of sin.

In Deut. 32:42 God says he will inflict Israel with arrows. Job says God's arrows are within him Job 6:4

For the first eighteen verses of Lamentations chapter 3 there is a parallel verse in the book of Job. The cup of woe is being passed from Jacob to Job.

I would be happy to discuss the book of Job.

Job never cursed God and spoke the truth about him. However.... he was wrong on some things. Like saying it would be better for him to have never been born. That's when God questioned him "where were you the
day that I measured Sunk the banks and stretched the line over all the earth and carved out its corner stone?
Where were you the day that I spoke and
Told the sun to split the night open
Calmed the morning dawn with its light to show." Etc

Questioning why God even created you is actually a sin bc you're questioning God. Once he accepted he was wrong to question God everything he lost was restored.
