Jesse Bangs writes:

The books of the Bible aren't in chronological order in either [the Hebrew or Christian] Bible. The events of Daniel precede the events of Ezekiel by a few years, since Daniel is concerned with the first part of the exile. Job comes hundreds of years earlier. The book of Job is roughly contemporary with the patriarchs, so it's old news by the time that Ezekiel comes around.
