This text stands among God's questions in Job 41 concerning the mysteries of Jehovah revealed in nature, mysteries which the greatest intellect cannot understand and which the most profound scholar cannot answer. The questions were not put to be answered, but to call attention to the deep mysteries of God and to teach that human wisdom is limited, and that in the surroundings of daily life there are many things beyond the comprehension of finite beings. In both divine revelation and in nature God has given such mysteries to command faith. God is to be acknowledged as much for what He does not reveal as for what is open to limited comprehension, for beyond all searching and inquiring and learning there still remains an infinity.
