Contextual Overview

6 Againe the Lord answered Iob out of the whirle winde, and said, 7 Girde vp now thy loynes like a man: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me. 8 Wilt thou disanul my iudgement? or wilt thou condemne me, that thou mayst be iustified? 9 Or hast thou an arme like God? or doest thou thunder with a voyce like him? 10 Decke thy selfe now with maiestie & excellencie, & aray thy selfe with beautie & glory. 11 Cast abroad the indignation of thy wrath, and beholde euery one that is proude, and abase him. 12 Looke on euery one that is arrogant, and bring him lowe: and destroy the wicked in their place. 13 Hide them in the dust together, and binde their faces in a secret place. 14 Then will I confesse vnto thee also, that thy right hand can saue thee.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind - See the notes at Job 38:1. God here resumes the argument which had been interrupted in order to give Job an opportunity to speak and to carry his cause before the Almighty, as he had desired, see Job 40:2. Since Job had nothing to say, the argument, which had been suspended, is resumed and completed.
