This chapter records the genealogy of the tribe of Judah and the founders of the towns and communities that filled the Judean landscape.

The Book of Chronicles begins with a genealogy from Adam to the birth of Israel. This helps give the returnees from exile a sense of their place in history.

Through humility, forgiveness, and recognition of our limitations we can reach reconciliation, peace and restoration.

God concludes His response to Job with a description of the fire-breathing dragon. Humility is how to respond to our lack of understanding of God's justice.

God challenges Job to cast away his arrogance and achieve and teach humility before God. This may not explain why he is suffering, but through humility humanity can achieve a world of peace.

Look beyond into the wonders of the natural world! the beautiful, powerful and majestic creatures are all God's creations, and God provides for all. They are not here for humans, they do not answer to us or serve us.

God continues His answer to Job. the established laws of nature and the universe are not just about human beings. It is about all of creation.

God answers Job's challenge and He answers the question of theodicy. Human beings have so much to learn about the world around us, there is so much we don't know. But more importantly, we can never know the knowledge of God who created the universe.

Elihu finishes his talk by describing the awesome power and incomprehensible might. If we cannot understand God's control of nature, how can we expect to understand His justice?

We cannot understand His ways, and through His actions we can see how much he is beyond our capacity to comprehend. So don't get angry over suffering, instead use it to become a better person.
