God's Unstoppable Sovereignty
All commentators agree that the central message of this verse is God's absolute and irresistible sovereignty. Zophar argues that whether God chooses to act in judgment, change a person's circumstances, or bring them to account, no human power or will can stop Him. This echoes Job's own earlier statements, reinforcing the theme that God's authority is ultimate and cannot be thwarted.
