Job was a godly man but was going through very hard times. He had a painful illness and had lost members of his family. He talked with his friends and contemplated who God was and why he had to endure such difficult times.

Job 26:

God stretches the northern sky over empty space
    and hangs the earth on nothing.
⁸ He wraps the rain in his thick clouds,
    and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.
⁹ He covers the face of the moon,
    shrouding it with his clouds.
¹⁰ He created the horizon when he separated the waters;
    he set the boundary between day and night.
¹¹ The foundations of heaven tremble;
    they shudder at his rebuke.
¹² By his power the sea grew calm.
    By his skill he crushed the great sea monster.
¹³ His Spirit made the heavens beautiful,
    and his power pierced the gliding serpent.
¹⁴ These are just the beginning of all that he does,
    merely a whisper of his power.
    Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?”
