The Lord Himself personally answers Job here as part of His speech in chapters 38-40 about creation. He is a personal God who speaks, distinct from the nature He created. His continuing address to Job uses questions that reveal mysteries beyond human understanding and are not meant to be answered.
Together with chapters 38 and 39 this proves that man was made last so that no human being could claim any part in creating the world or anything that has the breath of life. It upholds that man was created after the image of God and Christ. Human wisdom is limited, so God's Word is to be taken over the fallacies of men. It calls people to trust God even while they keep learning.
