Did God KNOW that Satan would entice Him?
Is God in control?
Did God KNOW that what would happen to Job?
Did God KNOW Job would endure his trials?

Any other answer then YES and you're into Open Theist. I can't help what the word of God states. I only report.

That's lame, HD. So, accoridng to you, God enticed satan to put Job through all that just so Job would endure when God knew all along that he would? And, then, on top of that, God blames the devil for "provoking" Him to ruin Job for no cause??? First of all, there is something seriously wrong with this, besides the obvious: God did't do the "ruining" and satan didn't do any "provoking."

The Book of Job is a wonderful story. It teaches us that even when we think otherwise, we should never blame God. That is both true and inerrant. You can believe whatever you wish, even in fairytales.
