These chapters are just Job's friends trying to find what wrong Job had done and were blaming all that was happening to him on him. This goes for a very long time one by one complaining. This is until Elihu, some random guy that is not even Job's friend, comes and tells him that God is the only one that can see if he deserves it or not and that his friends should not question or look for a reason of God's actions. God then proceeds to bless Job and to curse his friends and they lived happily ever after.
This might as well be a children's tale. I mean something bad happens to a good person, but that good person decides to keep doing good and then good things happen to him. Also, Job has to have some pretty bad friends if the only one that had positive ideas about him was a complete stranger. Way to go Eliphaz, Zophar, and Bildad. You guys are assholes. I like how Satan is nowhere to be seen at the end when he was proven wrong. He was probably cowering off in a corner.
