Eliphaz the Temanite, another one of Job's friends, replies to Job by refering to the sin that stemmed from Adam in Job 14:5-7:
"Your sin prompts your mouth;
you adopt the tongue of the crafty.
Your own mouth condemns you, not mine;
your own lips testify against you.
Are you the first man ever born?"
Job's words are harsh against God, but the following verse shows that he has not yet given up completely.
In Job 16:22 he says,
“Only a few years will pass
before I take the path of no return."
The only way to not be angry at God for all the terrible events that happened to Job is to remember that Job didn't deserve any of it in the first place. Adam essentially screwed all future generations in what they would be able to inherit ON EARTH. Fortunately, Jesus died so that Adam couldn't affect what humans would inherit in heaven.
To be continued.
