The last five chapters of Job are where the book either resolves or refuses to: God speaks from the whirlwind, answers nothing Job asked, and Job is satisfied. This volume completes David J. A. Clines's three-part treatment in the Word Biblical Commentary.

The series delivers the work of leading scholars who share a commitment to Scripture as divine revelation, with thorough analysis of textual, linguistic, structural and theological evidence framed within biblical theology. Each section moves from bibliography and translation through notes, form and structure, comment and explanation, which makes it a reference for the professional, the student and the working pastor alike.
