Job is a book about searching for answers in the midst of suffering and a man that is put in his place. After 37 chapters of reading humankind's inadequate explanation of evil and suffering, God puts Job in his place. The Book of Job changes dramatically in this chapter. The message also is straightforward. Do we get an answer to all the suffering questions? No. But at least we know Who is in charge! God speaks...
"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone"
What a fascinating turn of events, as Job and all of us as humankind are put in our places.
