Job 38-39

It took me a little more than 10 minutes toi read this.
After so many words God raises his voices. I don't imagine a harsh rebuke, because Job has been speaking with reverance and fear. I imagine that Job heard the gentle, loving voice that might have sounded just like his earthly father. I think the questions where spoken quietly and without a challenge. But I also think the voice was distinctly different from the voices of his "comforters." God didn't answer Job's questions directly. Yet He did answer one question Job never voiced; "Where have you been through all my pain and loss?" God's answer was evident as His words danced all around it; "I have been where I always am, in control of every part of creation."
