Job was already right with God before the events that began in chapter one began to unfold. Job knew God but not like he would know him in the end. Job learned things about the Lord through his trials that made the Lord both precious and glorious in the end, a perception that he alludes to when he said,
5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
For years I could not fully comprehend the meaning of James 5:11.
James 5:11
Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
I struggled to understand how the tragic suffering Job went through revealed to him a special understanding and appreciation of God's pity and tender mercy. But after I went through years of suffering myself I also now know in a way I never knew before how tender and loving God is and was with me through all the trials I experienced.
You will appreciate the book of Job even more when you understand it is a parable about the sufferings of Christ. Look at it closely and you will see much of it parallels the Psalms.
Hebrews 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet he learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
Job 27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, saying ....
Job 29:1 Moreover, Job continued his parable, and said ....
Ezekiel 20:49 Then said I (the spirit of Christ), Ah Lord God (the Father), they (the scriptures) say of me (Christ), Doth he (Christ) not speak parables.
Matthew 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable he spake not to them.
The whole Bible is the words of Christ, therefore the Bible itself is a parable (HIDDEN TRUTHS).

Praise God for His immeasurable love and mercy.
