The Lord Reveals His Omnipotence to Job

1 Then the Lord answered Job ^aout of the whirlwind, and said:

2 “Who^a is this who darkens counsel
By ^bwords without knowledge?

3 ^aNow¹ prepare yourself like a man;
I will question you, and you shall answer Me.

4 “Where^a were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.

5 Who determined its measurements?
Surely you know!
Or who stretched the¹ line upon it?

John Wesley's Notes

<< Job 38:1

Job 38:3 >>

Counsel - God's counsel. For the great matter of the dispute between Job and his friends, was concerning God's counsel and providence in afflicting Job; which Job had endeavoured to obscure and misrepresent. This first word which God spoke, struck Job to the heart. This he repeats and echoes to, Job 42:3, as the arrow that stuck fast in him.
