Job is part of the Poetical book in the Old Testament

So named from Job, its chief character, the book deals with an ageless question, one that is puzzling to every generation – the problem of human suffering, particularly the affliction of the righteous. The reader is given an account of the sufferings of the pious Patriarch Job, of the argument carried on between Job and his friends as to the cause of his sufferings, and finally, of the solution to his difficulty,. The book’s principal aim is to refute the popular view that all suffering is the result of sin in the life of the sufferer. [1. holybible.com –  Quick Summary of the Book of Job]

Summary of Job – Job is the first poetic book of the Old Testament. The book reads like a play. It relates the anguish of the righteous man Job as he and his friends struggle to explain the affliction which has befallen him and has stripped him of his wealth, his family, and his health. The dialogue continues between Job and his friends as each presents his opinion on the reasons behind such troubles. YHWH eventually intervenes and Job is restored to health and prosperity after he submits to YHWH’s supremacy.
