The Lord

Now stand up straight and answer my questions. ⁸ Are you trying to prove that I am unjust— to put me in the wrong and yourself in the right? ⁹ Are you as strong as I am? Can your voice thunder as loud as mine? ¹⁰ If so, stand up in your honor and pride; clothe yourself with majesty and glory. ¹¹ Look at those who are proud; pour out your anger and humble them. ¹² Yes, look at them and bring them down; crush the wicked where they stand. ¹³ Bury them all in the ground; bind them in the world of the dead. ¹⁴ Then I will be the first to praise you and admit that you won the victory yourself.

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.
