It does seem God was willing to stand back and observe.
But God had nothing to prove and neither did Job.
That much came from the Adversary.
The 'difference' is not described at the preamble of the book.
It is simply stated...the sons of God gathered to present themselves, and with them came the devil.
It was then God that confronted him.....'from whence comest thou?.....
I see that as confrontation.
More like.....'what are YOU doing here?!....
The difference is there but not detailed.
Sure you can choose to see it that way, or Satan was playing the role God had given him.
It was God who pointed out Job afterwards.
God:"where have you come from"
Satan: "From traveling the world"
God:"Oh have you seen my servant Job?"
It was God who pointed out Job, it is with Gods permission that the adversary challenges Job. Both the adversary and God indicate that it is "God stretching his hand out"
Ha Satan a divine tool.
