And what about "the sons of God?" We assume they were angels but that's just conjecture. The sons of God gather before the Lord, and Satan takes the spotlight.
ZNP says the book of Job is about building a man, Jesus, Jesus is a son of God, but he's not mentioned at all. Instead Satan gets the spotlight, and must be a son of God too, if he's allowed there, but the sons of God is not mentioned anymore, and Jesus, the supposed man God is building, is not mentioned at all.
Is this not odd?

Job 7:17 is a direct reference to Jesus, it is the central question of the entire book of Job, and it is quoted in Hebrews as a reference to Jesus. Therefore, this is not my interpretation, it is the interpretation of the writer of Hebrews.
Satan gets the spotlight in scene 1, but the next 28 chapters are devoted to Job, God, and this central question that focuses on Jesus. After chapter 2 Satan is nothing but a byword and an after thought.
