Job 40-42

It took me almost 15 minutes to read this passage. The story of Job ends with a suprise. Twice God gave Job the opportunity to respond to the Almighty's questions. The first time Job refused to speak. But the he responded the secomd time. I think if Job had refused again God would have continued to declare His greatness. But Job must have realized that God wanted to hear the word's from Job's mouth: "I spoke of things that I dfid not understand."
But God isn't finished. Twice he says to Eliphaz and his friends that they did not speak rightly about God's nature as Job had. They needed to humble themsleves before Job, and allow him to interceed for them.
