Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
God provides prey for the lioness and satisfies the hunger of the young lions even while they wait in their dens to hunt. That care for hungry creatures reveals Christ's sympathy, love, and tenderness.
The chapter's many questions come by divine inspiration and cannot be answered or fully understood even by people of the greatest intellect and the most profound scholars. They were not asked to be answered but to call attention to God's deep mysteries and to teach that human wisdom is limited and that the surroundings of everyday life hold much that is beyond the comprehension of finite beings. The chapter reveals the infinite power by which God makes Himself known in nature, which skeptics refuse to believe because they cannot comprehend it, and God is to be acknowledged as much for what He does not reveal of Himself as for what is open to limited comprehension. In both divine revelation and nature God has given mysteries to command faith, so that even with continual searching, inquiring, and learning an infinity still remains beyond.
