Job responds with heavy irony to Bildad’s feeble help, then soars into a hymn to God’s cosmic power (He stretches out the heavens, binds up the waters in clouds, and stills the sea) concluding that all these are but “the outskirts of his ways,” the faintest whisper of His power. Even Job’s high view of God is only the edge of an unfathomable greatness.
