SCRIPTURE

"Call now; is there any that will answer thee? And to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?" — Job 5:1 (ASV)

Call now.— The speaker now becomes more personal and direct in his tone and bearing. He insinuates that Job is “unwise” and “silly,” and promises swift destruction for all such.
