Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
The Lord begins to answer Job out of the whirlwind. In this answer He reveals the might of His power.
The speech it introduces continues through chapters 38-40 with questions about creation. Those questions affirm that God created the world and that human beings had no part in its creation. They show that human wisdom is limited, since God's mysteries in nature are beyond finite understanding. Instead of claiming to comprehend the infinite, people are called to faith.
Hearing the Lord's voice and glimpsing his Creator led Job to abhor himself and repent in dust and ashes. After that repentance God was able to bless him abundantly and make his last years the best of his life.
