The Fourth Perspective in Job

On a cursory reading, I think it's often assumed that the Book of Job presents the outlook of three different entities: Job, Job's friends, and God.  There is clearly a fourth though:  the narrator/poet.  His perspective, which is the one he aims to impart to the reader, can be characterized as making the following four arguments:

1)  Job's friends are wrong in their insistence that Job has done something to warrant his suffering.
2)  Job, in his criticisms of God, fails to fully account for the obvious limitations of human wisdom.
3)  Job's death wish is myopic in light of the totality of Creation and all its grandeur.
4)  The grandeur of Creation is not an answer to the problem of suffering, nor a justification of God's ways, in and of itself.  It's simply a signpost that, when properly read, should lend to us a modicum of awareness that God's purposes cannot be assumed to always align with our individual desires.

One may object by asking, "Isn't this the perspective attributed to God?"  In other words, "Isn't the poet's perspective and God's perspective the same?"  Not exactly.  Job and God are in dialogue with each other, thus God's words are to be taken as a rebuttal to Job's friends and Job, respectively.  The poet then is a mediator between the story and the reader.  Via the narrative and the poems, he is pushing us to probe the question for ourselves:  how should we think of human suffering in relation to the righteous and loving nature of God?  He is not able to present God's perspective because he himself does not know it.  God's prosodic "answer" to Job is indeed a revelation, but not a revelation of understanding.  In its power, grandeur, and beauty, it seeks to imitate the revelation of Creation.  Which is to say, it is a revelation of humility, awe, and wonder.  The poet is a voice offering a hand, to walk alongside the reader in approaching such a revelation.
