>>Yes, God's whirlwind speech is one thing. And then that "too little, too late" atonement.
Alan Watts did a good job of explicating the "whirlwind speech" as a series of Zen koans, rather than as a mere show of power. Watts argues that rather than bow to power, Job was bowing to the unanswerable.
As for the "too little, too late," note that YHWH revivifies Job's family. Replicants. How creepy is that! A good short story there: Job after the last chapter, living with the duplicate beings who are exactly like, yet not the same as, his kinfolk.
