The context is that the Lord is answering Job's question. Your response does not do that, it ignores his question. Show me how your interpretation is an answer to Job's question and we will have something to discuss. According to the context the book of Job states clearly that the Lord's response is an answer to the question, it states clearly that Job perceives that it is, and that he is quite satisfied with that answer.
Now granted, Job asks many questions, some are directed to the other men, some are rhetorical, some are asked in parables that he gives. However, it does appear that his question directed towards God is in three parts and I have laid that out briefly.
