Will you condemn Me [your God] that you may [appear to] be righteous and justified? ⁹"Have you an arm like God, And can you thunder with a voice like His? ¹⁰"Adorn yourself with eminence and dignity [since you question the Almighty], And array yourself with honor and majesty. ¹¹"Pour out the overflowings of your wrath, And look at everyone who is proud and make him low. ¹²"Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him, And [if you are so able] tread down the wicked where they stand. ¹³"[Crush and] hide them in the dust together; Shut them up in the hidden place [the house of death]. ¹⁴"[If you can do all this, Job, proving your divine power] then I [God] will also praise you and acknowledge That your own right hand can save you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind,.... Some think that the whirlwind ceased while the Lord spake the words in

Job 40:2; which encouraged Job to make the answer he did; but others are of opinion that it continued, and now increased, and was more boisterous than before. The Targum calls it the whirlwind of tribulation: comfort does not always follow immediately on first convictions; Job, though humbled, was not yet humbled enough: God will have a fuller confession of sin from him: it was not sufficient to say he was vile, he must declare his sorrow for his sin, his abhorrence of it, and of himself for it, and his repentance of it; and that he had said things of God he ought not to have said, and which he understood not; and though he had said he would answer no more, God will make him say more, and therefore continued the whirlwind, and to speak out of it; for he had more to say to him, and give him further proof of his power to his full conviction;

and said; as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind - See the notes at Job 38:1. God here resumes the argument which had been interrupted in order to give Job an opportunity to speak and to carry his cause before the Almighty, as he had desired, see Job 40:2. Since Job had nothing to say, the argument, which had been suspended, is resumed and completed.
