It isn't bad enough that Job gets chewed out by his former friends from the neighborhood, he then gets a young whippersnapper, Elihu, berating him the same way, while claiming to be approaching the problem differently. In Job 38, Yahweh finally chimes in. He basically gets all up in Job's grill with a big, "Who's your Daddy?" speech.
12 “Have you ever given orders to the morning,
or shown the dawn its place,
13 that it might take the earth by the edges
and shake the wicked out of it?
We've seen plenty of Biblical patriarchs and matriarchs express sarcasm, but Yahweh gets some sarcasm in here too.
9 “What is the way to the abode of light?
And where does darkness reside?
20 Can you take them to their places?
Do you know the paths to their dwellings?
21 Surely you know, for you were already born!
You have lived so many years!
Nice job, Yahweh!
