Job 38:2

"Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?" The first thing that Job hears from God, is. rebuke. Job's comments and questions had confused the issue rather than shedding any light. "For Job to suggest that God had become his enemy would only confuse others about God" (Bible Knowledge Comm. p. 767). Note that God will say nothing about Job's suffering; "no discussion was included about the theology of evil. Instead of answering questions, God asked them" (Zuck p. 163). Neither does God apologize to Job or explain what was happening behind the scenes. The very fact that God is the all-wise Creator of the universe should move people to have complete confidence in what He allows to happen in this world. "Though people cannot understand God's doings, they can trust Him. Worship should stem from an appreciation of God Himself, not. comprehension of all God's ways. Though puzzled, people should still praise" (Bible Knowledge Comm. p. 766).
