Job is a reply to pagan beliefs. Because pagan morality was "if I can take it, I can take better care of it" and their belief was "if I am successful, I am favored by gods and holy." God marks Job's toxic friends as sinners for sharing this belief and conditions their forgiveness on Job's prayer.
This is the reward Job receives and why Satan wanted to discredit him as God's good servant. Satan had performed mental gymnastics to get permission from God to test Job. Job gets from God authority to judge and forgive sinners.
New Testament says it outright that God wants to put us on thrones alongside His and let us boss around angels with Him. This is why Satan hates us, and he hated Job as much.
Adaptation of Job requires spelling this out throw world building. One of villains could be a pagan warlord who serves Satan and invades Job's land. Job's friends could help him escape from him, but once Job gets sick, they want to distance themselves from Job and start blaming him for his own fate. And once God gives Job authority to judge and forgive sins, we get to see Satan seething.
