The Strand Study Bible

JOB JOB God reminded Job that there were many things he did not fully understand (vs 1-30) and had taken for granted, yet he never sought to understand ( Canst thou ) those things. 838

The following poem is dedicated to skeptics everywhere:

CAN YOU?

CAN YOU make it thunder? CAN YOU make it rain? CAN YOU make it lightning? CAN YOU stop the rain? CAN YOU take the smallest sun and put it in its place? CAN YOU make the moon to shine or shoot a star through space? CAN YOU stop a hurricane or keep the earth from shaking? CAN YOU make a whirlwind or stop the volcano from breaking? CAN YOU feed and clothe the world? CAN YOU stop the crying? CAN YOU change the hearts of men? CAN YOU stop the dying? CAN YOU know what binds all things? CAN YOU raise the dead? CAN YOU know beyond the grave? Are the answers in your head? How dare we doubt the only ONE who turns the summer fall, How dare we question the only GOD WHO alone has done it all.
