JOB 38

JOB HEARS FROM GOD

After hearing from Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar, and Elihu, Job gets a response directly from God.

God questions Job, asking him if he knew how the world worked, from creation to the galaxy to the seas. God is in control of the light and the darkness, something Job has no knowledge of or authority over. God uses His vast creation to show Job that there is much he will never understand or govern.

JOB 39

GOD DESCRIBES THE INTRICACIES OF HIS CREATION

God continues to describe the many aspects of the universe and His reign over them, reminding Job that his perspective is very small compared to God’s. God shows Job the scope of His greatness and power, detailing intimate knowledge of His creation.
