Job 38 - 40

God finally speaks to Job and his condition.  He asks Job where he was when the earth was created; and how his wisdom was consulted when God set the universe in order.  Through a series of pointed questions, God reminds Job that the question is not "Why?" but "Who?" in any given situation.  It is a question of who God is.

Job's immediate response is to claim error.  Here is Job's error:  he has overstated his case, he has charged the Almighty - and in doing so, he has placed himself over the King of the universe.  Job quickly admits that he is wrong for doing so, and will refrain from doing so in the future.
