Job 40:6 Meaning and Commentary

Job 40:6

Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind
Some think that the whirlwind ceased while the Lord spake the words in ( Job 40:2 ) ; which encouraged Job to make the answer he did; but others are of opinion that it continued, and now increased, and was more boisterous than before. The Targum calls it the whirlwind of tribulation: comfort does not always follow immediately on first convictions; Job, though humbled, was not yet humbled enough: God will have a fuller confession of sin from him: it was not sufficient to say he was vile, he must declare his sorrow for his sin, his abhorrence of it, and of himself for it, and his repentance of it; and that he had said things of God he ought not to have said, and which he understood not; and though he had said he would answer no more, God will make him say more, and therefore continued the whirlwind, and to speak out of it; for he had more to say to him, and give him further proof of his power to his full conviction;

and said;
as follows.

Job 40:6 In-Context

4 As-tu un bras comme celui de Dieu; tonnes-tu de la voix, comme lui?
5 Pare-toi donc de magnificence et de grandeur; et revêts-toi de majesté et de gloire.
6 Répands les fureurs de ta colère, d'un regard humilie tous les orgueilleux;
7 D'un regard abaisse tous les orgueilleux, et écrase les méchants sur place.
8 Cache-les tous ensemble dans la poussière, et enferme leurs visages dans les ténèbres.
