In Job chapter 38, God responds to Job in the middle of a storm, questioning him about who He is to question divine wisdom and the purpose of creation. God talks about the power of nature, the establishment of the borders of the sea and the origin of lightning, among other themes. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Job 38:
Psalm 104:5-6: "You have established the earth on its foundations; it will never be shaken. You covered it with the abyss, as with a cloak; the waters surrounded the mountains." This verse talks about how God established the earth in his position and covered it with waters.
Proverbs 8:29: "When he fixed the clouds on top and made the springs of the sea waters get here," This verse describes how God created the clouds and established the boundaries of the sea.
Job 38:8: "Or who ended the sea with doors when he, erupting from the breast, came out to light," this verse is directly related to the theme of the borders of the sea mentioned by God in Job 38.
Psalm 29:3-4: "The voice of the Lord resonates over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord over the many waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic." This verse mentions the power of the voice of God on the waters, a theme related to the description of the storm in Job 38.
Jeremiah 10:12: "He made the earth for his power, established the world for his wisdom, and extended the heavens for his intelligence." This verse talks about God's wisdom and power in the creation of the world, a central theme in God's response to Job 38.
