Job 38:1• 1Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, (Job 38:1)
;
Psa. 50:3‑4• 3Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
 4He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. (Psa. 50:3‑4)
;
Heb. 12:18‑20• 18For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
 19And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
 20(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: (Heb. 12:18‑20)
;
2 Peter 3:10‑12• 10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
 11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
 12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? (2 Peter 3:10‑12)
• In His second address the Lord deepens the work already taking place in Job’s heart. In the first, Job is silenced and convinced by the majesty, power and wisdom of God. Such a Being, whose perfections are displayed in His works, cannot be arbitrary and unjust in His dealings with man. If His wisdom in the care of beasts and birds was beyond Job’s comprehension, it must also be the case in His afflicting hand. The great effect of this first address upon Job seems to be that Jehovah has become a reality to him. In the second address these impressions are deepened. God will not leave His servant with his lesson half learned: He plows more deeply into his heart until the hidden depths of pride are reached and judged. The second address therefore dwells upon this pride so common to the creature. He invites Job, as it were, to see whether he can humble the proud and bring them low. The manifest implication is that Job himself is in that class. (“Job 38-42:6” by S. Ridout)
• There {creatures like the aurochs or the horse} the lesson was largely God’s providential care; here it is rather His control of creatures whose strength defies man. They are in that way types of pride and of resistless strength, representing the culmination of creature power. Can Job subdue or control these? Nay, does He not find himself morally in their company, for has he not lifted up himself against God? (“Job 38-42:6” by S. Ridout)
• The call to Job to take the throne (chap. 40:6-14). (“Job 38-42:6” by S. Ridout)
