Special concepts in this chapter
Yahweh's greatness
Yahweh is far greater than any man. He is the creator of the earth, and his ways will not always be understood by men because their knowledge is always limited. Since Job cannot understand creation, he cannot truly understand Yahweh.
Important figures of speech in this chapter
Rhetorical questions
Yahweh uses a series of rhetorical questions in this chapter in order to defend his character. Many of these questions focus on nature because Yahweh is the creator of the heavens and the earth. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/heaven)
