From Commentary - This speech may seem like a strange and inappropriate speech, for it talks about the wonders of creation, not about Job's suffering. However, it does indirectly address Job's suffering, for it vindicates God in permitting Job to Suffer. Job and the others had at times spoken of the greatness of God but had not applied the truth to the fact that God could, because of his greatness in creation permit His creation to experience suffering. Job had been critical at times of God for allowing him to suffer, and his friends had countered by speaking of God's greatness, but not relating that to why Job suffered.
