We and Job have been waiting for this and now, in chapter thirty-eight, we wish we were not included in what God has to say. Job did speak without knowledge. He accused Jehovah of punishing him unfairly. We know that it was Satan that inflicted this pain on him. All the questions that He asks are valid. We do not know any of these answers. Sarcasm can be from Yahweh as He shows us in verse twenty-one. In verses thirty-one through thirty-three He speaks of stars and constellations. What are the laws of the heavens that is spoken of here? Many of their movements are understood better now than in previous times.

Wild animals that are mentioned in chapter thirty-nine are now monitored by conservation groups. This did not happen in Job’s time. Many wild animals are captured and tamed in the modern world. Men can learn some of these facts about the wild animals, but most of us are ignorant of them. The wisdom of the Lord is beyond us. Job has been put in his place.
