God responds 'Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:' introducing another section of God's discourse. God's continued speaking after Job's silence suggests that God is not satisfied with mere submission but continues to press the argument. The reappearance from the whirlwind suggests continued manifestation of divine power and transcendence. The continuation of God's speech suggests that God will not rest until certain points are made clear to Job. The verse marks a transition to the second part of God's speech, moving from the accumulation of questions about animals and nature to more direct assertions.
