When bad things happenAn important theme in the book is that God's, and the world's knowability. When bad things happen, it is impossible to set an explanation for them. Job's three friends had assumed that if Job was getting punished, that meant that he was guilty of wrong-doing. They assumed this, because they have been taught that all people who get punished are guilty of certain sins. However, God acknowledges that Job did not sin and still suffered. It is impossible to understand why bad things happen, and it is wrong when people make believe that they know why certain bad things happen.
