Job's Dilemma

I've read some commentary on the Book of Job, the latest being Cynthia Ozick's "The Impious Impatience of Job," and it seems to me no one quite gets at the peculiar conflict in Job's mind. He is perfectly aware that his faith and his desire for justice create a dilemma for him. He never stops believing in God and never looks anywhere else for justice. The God he believes in is not the Christian God of mercy; Job's God is the Author of Justice. He embodies justice, and to believe in him means to believe in a being who is all-just. But justice is precisely what Job is not getting from God. To question God's justice in this case is to rock his faith. Yet he is not denying his faith by questioning God; when Job asks the question...demands an answer from God...he becomes a hero of faith, because he knows he doesn't have a chance in this encounter. He knows this and yet he never stops believing.
He is also perfectly aware that the question he raises has no rightful place of hearing. When you have a dispute with your neighbor, both of you go before a judge. When you have a dispute with a judge, you go before a higher judge. God is the highest judge. If you have a dispute with him, to whom do the two of you go for a hearing? Job admits this is a problem.
That voice from the whirlwind is no surprise to Job. He knows he is going to be flattened. And God bullies him. What he says translates to either "Power trumps or creates justice. My rules" or "Power means I don't have to answer questions. You wouldn't understand anyway." Who wins this encounter? On the one hand, Job gets God to court and makes him testify. On the other hand, he doesn't get an answer. But if God were to admit what happened to Job wasn't what he deserved, but some cockamamy test, would Job's faith in a just God be confirmed? I'm not sure. In any case, Job's faith comes out of the encounter intact. And, of course, he gets his stuff back. But still that same wife, who wanted him to "curse God and die."
