The eagle Can you trust him to bring in your grain This phrase challenges the reader to consider the reliability and strength of the wild ox, a creature mentioned earlier in the chapter. In the ancient Near Eastern context, agriculture was a central part of life, and the harvest was crucial for survival. Trusting an animal to bring in the grain implies a dependence on its strength and reliability. This reflects the broader theme of God's sovereignty and the limitations of human control over nature. The wild ox, or "re'em" in Hebrew, symbolizes untamed power, which humans cannot fully harness or trust, pointing to the need to rely on God rather than on human or animal strength. This can be connected to Proverbs 3:5-6, which emphasizes trusting in the Lord rather than one's own understanding. and gather it to your threshing floor? Persons / Places / Events 1. JobA man of great faith and patience, who undergoes severe trials and questions God's justice and wisdom. 2. God The Almighty Creator, who speaks to Job out of the whirlwind, challenging Job's understanding of divine wisdom and power. 3. Wild Ox (Re'em) A symbol of strength and untamed power, used by God to illustrate His control over creation and the limitations of human power. Teaching Points Trust in God's SovereigntyJust as Job is challenged to trust in God's control over creation, we are called to trust in His sovereignty over our lives. Human Limitations Recognize our limitations in understanding and controlling the world, and submit to God's greater wisdom and power. Dependence on God for Provision Like the wild ox, which cannot be fully tamed or trusted by humans, we must rely on God to provide and gather our needs. Faith in Unseen Outcomes Trusting God involves faith in outcomes we cannot see or control, much like trusting the wild ox to gather grain. Humility Before God Acknowledge our place in creation and approach God with humility, recognizing His ultimate authority and wisdom.(12) Wilt thou believe him?--i.e., trust him, as in the former verse "Wilt thou [trust" was, rather, Wilt thou feel confidence in him?Verse 12. - Wilt thou believe him - rather, Wilt thou confide in him (see the Revised Version) - that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barns? i.e. convey the harvest from the field to the homestead, that it may be safely lodged in thy barn. The "strength" of the urns (ver. 11) would make all such labours light to him, but his savage nature would render it impossible to use him for them. Parallel Commentaries ...
