I would point out that according to traditional
chronologies the Isrealites were in captivity in Egypt at
this time. An unlikely place and population to influce
Sumerian poetry.
We can only go on the evidence at hand. There is no
evidence of any kind for the existence of the Hebrew
language or Hebrew versions of Job-like poems around 1700
BC. If new evidence arises, it can be considered. Without
evidence of some sort, it is just speculation.
