Job 38:1 open_in_new
the LORD. Hebrew. Jehovah. App-4.
answered. See note on Job 4:1. We now have Jehovah '. own ministry, and the theme is Himself. Elihu '. ministry furnishes the text: "God is greater than man "(Job 33:12). This leads up to "the end of the Lord" (James 5:11). "How should mortal man be just with God? "See Job 4:17; Job 9:2; Job 15:14; Job 33:9; Job 34:5. How different from the ministry of the three friends, which, like most ministries of to-day, consists in the effort to make men "good" by persuasion.
