That's why the scripture says '...the letter kills, the spirit makes alive..." Understanding requires "rightly dividing the word of truth", otherwise one misses its purpose.

They didn't understand the reason for nor all that was going on in regard to Job's situation. And yes, they were men.
You can't discount the truth they spoke and the scriptures that I pasted in here are backed up by God's own Word and by example and testimony of other Scripture and real life happening.
