Notes

Job wanted God to call or summon him, so Job could defend himself. Or as an alternative, Job would speak to God. Then God would respond with the charges against Job. Since God did not choose the first option, Job started the second one (13:23). Eventually, God did call Job (38:1–3; 40:1–2). But Job could not reply (40:3–5).
