"God gives Job, in a poetically grand manner, one instruction: Take the first three chapters of Genesis seriously. Yet this message has two sides. In content, God tells Job to shut up. In form, he rewards his noise. For God delivers the answer personally. He cares enough not to send a message but to come personally before Job's eyes. He will not - or cannot - answer Job's question the way Job wants them answered, but he will answer. Job got what every righteous man longed for: the actual presence of God."
