Notes

Job 39:30

Where there is a dead body, you will find the eagle feeding on the remains (Ezekiel 39:17–19; Matthew 24:28; Luke 17:37).

Job 38:1–40:5

God challenges Job. Job admits he cannot judge the moral world. God shows Job's ignorance of the natural world's elements related to the realm of heaven, weather, animals, and birds (38:4–21; 22–38; 39–39:30).
