We cannot try to speak for God. God is God alone. Job 38 and 39 God answers Job out of a whirlwind when we seeks an arbiter for his claims to come before God. God asks Job in 38:4, "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?" Verse five "God says where were you talking to Job when I marked out the dimensions of the earth. Verse seven God asks Job "Where were you when the angels sang together?"
In chapter 39 we see a picture of Christ in the midst of the Old Testament. In verse nine God says, "Will the wild ox consent to serve you. Will it stay by your manager at night." We can see a small picture of animals surrounding Jesus at this birth and the manager. God wants us to see glimpses of his Son even in the Old Testament. We have to look for God all across the Bible.
Lastly, 38 and 39 show God as Lord when Lord is in all CAPS. God is Lord over all creation.. God is Lord over all the animals in 39:10-30. He is Lord over the birthing cycle in 39:1-4. God is Lord over land and seas in 39:5-8.
