Let me summarize the story part:
Job is an awesome guy with lots going for him. Rich, righteous, and with 10 kids who all get along (evidenced by the fact that they often meet at each others' places for dinner).
God and the Devil are having a chat. They do that in this book.
God says, "Look at how awesome my servant Job is." He was rubbing it in the Devil's face a little.
The Devil counters that Job's only a good guy because he has so much going for him. He asks God to let him make things tough on Job, and God agrees, with the stipulation that the Devil can't hurt him personally.
The Devil takes away all of Job's wealth and kills all 10 of his kids at once. Job still praises God.
