Miles is explicit that he reads the Bible purely as a literary work. So he's talking about the order of the books in the Tanakh, as they're presented to the reader as a single, larger volume, not about when the books were compiled in history (although he certainly takes history into account in his analyses). Job comes physically towards the end of the Tanakh, as does devastating Ecclesiastes.

You're not grasping the point about Job. Suppose I loudly protest, in an hour-long tirade that I'm furious that John Smith would dare insult my honour by saying I cheated in a game of poker. Overcome by the force of my apparent wrath, John Smith apologizes and begs for forgiveness. Now suppose Frank Jones happens to have overheard me say earlier that I don't care at all about honour. And everyone at the table except John knew the poker game was rigged. Wouldn't Frank have reason to think I was being a pompous ass in lording it over John?

That's the bathos, the puncturing of the Lord's stature in Job.

I'm writing a whole article now on Ecclesiastes because the wrongness of your take on it can't be confined to a comment like this one. Thanks for the inspiration, as always. ;)

I'll take a look at your article.
