God Himself speaks! What will He say? Job has said that God would not take the trouble to speak to him (Job 9:32; 19:7; 23:8-9; 29:5; 30:20-21; 31:3532For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. (Job 9:32)
7Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. (Job 19:7)
8Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: 9On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: (Job 23:8‑9)
5When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me; (Job 29:5)
20I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not. 21Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. (Job 30:20‑21)
35Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book. (Job 31:35) and many more). We know how much God is interested for God has told us all we need to know! Anything else is merely the inquisitiveness of the human mind. God reviews His works of creation as an example of His power and wisdom. This surely will make Job see his smallness. We cannot take any particular verses and speak about them. You should read the whole passage as one grand and glorious message from the very mouth of God Himself. We would have thought that God would have spoken like this when He told of creation in Genesis 14These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, (Genesis 2:4), but He reserves it for one single man, Job.
