Job 38: Finally the Lord speaks! He address His speech to Job reminding him that it was the Lord who laid the earth's foundation and created everything therein. Also it was the Lord who has defined all things in the earth and have given names and functions to each of His creations.

Job 39: Furthermore, God keeps questioning Job about the life patterns/cycles of the certain animals (e.g. mountain goats, wild donkeys, wild oxen etc.). God the Almighty and Creator knows every single detail about them (e.g. birth, behavior, obedience etc.). It shows that God cares about such details that we could easily not quite remember.

Job 40: Finally, Job acknowledges that he is unworthy and that he has no answer to reply to Him. God then draws an example of the behemoth and explains how He also made this creature along with Job and describes in details some of its characteristics to show that the Almighty even has full control and understanding over them.

Job 41: Furthermore, the Lord cites details of the Leviathan and shares its characteristics with Job.

Job 42: "My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you." I believe this is the most important confession by Job. Indeed, it's not enough that we only hear about God. Rather, we have to meet 1:1 every day. Furthermore, after Job prays for his friends, The Lord restored his fortunes and blessed him even more than with what he had before.
