Job's reply comes after God has spoken to him out of the whirlwind, challenging Job's understanding and questioning his ability to comprehend the divine order of creation. This moment is significant as it represents a turning point in the narrative, where Job moves from questioning and lamenting his suffering to a posture of humility and submission before God.<br><br>The phrase "replied to the LORD" indicates a direct communication with Yahweh, the covenant name of God, emphasizing the personal and relational aspect of this interaction. Throughout the Old Testament, direct communication with God is a profound experience, often reserved for prophets and patriarchs, highlighting Job's unique position in the biblical narrative.<br><br>This moment can be connected to other instances in Scripture where individuals respond to divine revelation or intervention, such as Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3) or Isaiah's vision in the temple (Isaiah 6). In each case, the human response to God's presence is one of awe, reverence, and often a recognition of one's own limitations or unworthiness.<br><br>Theologically, Job's reply can be seen as a type of Christ's submission to the Father's will, particularly in the Garden of Gethsemane (<a href="/matthew/26-39.htm">Matthew 26:39</a>), where Jesus, despite His suffering, submits to God's plan. Job's response foreshadows the ultimate example of righteous suffering and submission found in Jesus Christ.<br><br>Culturally, the act of replying to God in the ancient Near Eastern context would have been understood as an act of worship and acknowledgment of divine sovereignty. Job's response is not merely a verbal reply but an act of worship, recognizing God's ultimate authority and wisdom.<br><br>In summary, this phrase sets the stage for Job's acknowledgment of God's greatness and his own limited understanding, a theme that resonates throughout the wisdom literature of the Bible and underscores the importance of humility and faith in the face of suffering and divine mystery.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.

In the first part (vers. 1-6) Job makes his final submission, humbling himself in the dust before God. In the second (vers. 7-17) the historical framework, in which the general dialogue is set, is resumed and brought to a close. God's approval of Job is declared, and his anger denounced against the three friends, who are required to expiate their guilt by a sacrifice, and only promised forgiveness if Job will intercede on their behalf (ver. 8). The sacrifice takes place (ver. 9); and then a brief account is appended of Job's after life - his prosperity, his reconciliation with his family and friends, his wealth, his sons and daughters, and his death in a good old age, when he was "full of days" (vers. 10-17.). The poetic structure, begun in <a href="/job/3-3.htm">Job 3:3</a>, is continued to the end of ver. 6, when the style changes into prose of the same character as that employed in ch.. 1. 2, and in <a href="/job/32-1.htm">Job 32:1-5</a>. <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 1, 2.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Then Job answered the Lord, and said, I know that thou caner do every thing</span>; <span class="accented">i.e.</span> I know and acknowledge thy omnipotence, which thou hast set forth so magnificently before me in ch. 38-41.
