“Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.”
Job describes God as shaking the earth from its place so that its pillars tremble, extending the image of divine power to include the fundamental structures of reality. The trembling pillars suggest the instability of all created things before divine will. Job's catalog of divine power aims to establish why human resistance is futile.
