📚 Historical Context

This verse is part of a speech by Eliphaz, one of Job's three friends who came to comfort him during his suffering. Eliphaz is describing God's greatness and power, attempting to remind Job of God's mighty works. This comes early in the book when Job's friends are still trying to encourage him before their speeches become more accusatory.
