The LORD Answers Job out of the Whirlwind – Job 38-39

In short

The LORD puts Job in his place.

Why it is important

Aside from being tremendously amusing, it is also a great exposition on the power and skill of God.

What is in this poem

An introduction (38:1-3) and then two main sections – and it’s not the chapters.

1. The LORD controls the elements (38:4-38)
2. The LORD controls the animals (38:39-39:30)

And then many short poems within those sections. See picture for details.

Theology and doctrine

God is over all.
