Usually, the moral lesson of Job is assumed to concern suffering. But suffering is only the context, not the central concern. The central point shows two major moral principles: the characteristics of bigotry and the existence of injustice.

Analysts seem to never get past the suffering part of the message. Why don't they see the injustice and bigotry? It shows that the world must rationalize away the characteristics of sin.

The over-all perspective in the story of Job is that all of the persons involved seem to be describing the same philosophy, but the meaning follows the status. The well-off persons assume they are right and the afflicted person is wrong. That attitude is bigotry. Bigotry is the subconscious assumption that power is virtue and powerlessness is sin. Job's accusers (supposed friends) claim he must be wrong and sinful because he is afflicted.

Job's friends claim he must have sinned. Job claims he is innocent. This part concerns the nature of justice. Both sides say God does not produce injustice (Job 8:3), and this leaves Job puzzled as to why he is afflicted. It is common even nowdays for analysts to explain everything as if it has a purpose of God's, which implicitly means there is no such thing as injustice. Power tends to promote this attitude. It creates the assumption that everything is justice. The preface to the story of Job clearly describes the destruction of Job as an injustice created by satan without God having the slightest reason for it to occur.

The victims of injustice at the bottom of society know there is a lot of injustice in life. This is one of the reasons why the path which saves is based on poverty. It shows people that there is such a thing as injustice, which is the essence of sin. Contrarily, it is not uncommon for atheists to say they don't see any evidence of evil or sin existing.

Both Job and his accusing friends describe the power, virtues and justice of God. They say nothing about satan as a source of injustice. Neither Job nor his friends can explain why Job would be afflicted if it were not for his sin. It shows that wealth converts thought patterns into assumptions of justice. Elsewhere, one finds that poverty converts thought patterns into assumptions of injustice. Christ took sides and chose the latter view, as indicated in all of his teachings and stated directly in the "sermon on the mount" (Mat 5:10-12).

Recognizing injustice is one of the main lessons of Job and a central concern of Christ's, because the purpose of material life is to overcome sin, and it must be known to exist before it can be overcome. The story of Job is showing that there is a lack of understanding that sin is the cause of problems, not some purpose of God's.

Built upon the argument of whether Job sinned to create his affliction is another layer of arguments of whether Job should be right—whether a lowly human and afflicted persons should know what he is talking about (Job 11:1-20). Notice that his accusers are humans also, but they supposedly have some right to speak, while Job does not.

Not allowing victims to justify themselves is a characteristic of bigotry. As Job states (in his superior wisdom) it is the accusers of the afflicted who should hold their tongues, not the victims (Job 13:5). Job said God would rebuke them (Job 13:10), and God rebuked them (Job 42:7). God sort of rebuked Job, apparently a facetious demonstration that God must rebuke all humans, but it was for such irrelevancies as not knowing all the trivia about animals and plants which God knows. Apparently a contrast is being shown between Job being rebuked for trivial irrelevancy and his accusers being rebuked for serious wrong-doing which angered God.

Victims of injustice would instantly recognize the story of Job as exactly what happens to all victims of injustice. They are accused for being victimized, and they are not allowed to justify themselves. The accusers produce accusations and mockeries with no relationship to reality, while the victims are supposedly a threat to society for attempting to justify themselves. Bigotry causes corrupt persons to assume that their mockeries are virtue when directed at vulnerable persons, because power is virtue and powerlessness is sin.

The story of Job is a replica of the standard situation which occurs between perpetrators of injustice and their victims. All elements of the story are exaggerated for visibility. Jobs virtuousness is exaggerated, but it represents the innocence of the victims of injustice.

But analysts are puzzled about the purpose of Job. They don't quite notice that Job was praised by God above all other humans. They seem to think disease made job ignorant and sinful. They often claim that Job was being improved through suffering, even though not a word mentions such a result in the story of Job. They are trained to not see sin due to their psychological conditioning which makes sin look like virtue and creates resistance to the truth which exposes sin for what it is.
