God's answer to Job?

Question

I'm looking for the exact quotes from the story of Job.
Specifically what Job asked God about his suffering when he had been afflicted by Satan and such, and God's answer about him being ruler and having to deal with stuff.
...yeah.
Thank You, much appreciated if you could help!

Answer 1

Ok the book of Job goes through alot, and if I was to quote from it all I would be sitting here for quite a while. So i am going to summarize what happened for you. Hope this helps you find what you are looking for;

The book of Job introduces us to a man named Job who is plagued by adversity. Job is a righteous, godly man, yet one catastrophe after another wreaks havoc on his life. After Satan spars with God, we are allowed to see pieces of the puzzle of Job's life that he himself cannot see. When Job's friends enter the picture, their words are based on incorrect assumptions. Instead of offering him the comfort he needs, they offer advice and try to find answers to his suffering. Job feels condemned instead of comforted.

In reading Job, we discern the identity of our true adversary and see how he manipulates events to snatch our focus away from God (Job 1:16-22). We reluctantly listen to Job's wife as she offers her advice, and we are awed by Job's righteous response (Job 2:9-10). We watch in dismay as Job's friends break their silence (Job 2:11-13), adding to his grief rather than alleviating it. We groan with Job under a burden of suffering that is beyond understanding (Job 7). We marvel as Job learns to endure suffering by finding hope in the Lord (Job 19:23-27). And we cheer for Job's final restoration and reward for his faithfulness to God (Job 42:10-17).

Bad things do happen to good people. God does allow his children to undergo testing. But the book of Job reminds us that God is still in control. Even in the middle of the most horrific circumstances life throws our way, we can tie a mental knot in out faith and hang on to our trust in God. If we focus on his sovereignty and faithfulness, we can face any storm life has to offer and come through - scared and hurting perhaps - but victorious nonetheless.

Answer 2

Job Chapter 38 begins the Lord's Message to Job but I think you're looking for Job 40 1-10. The Lord responds very cryptically.

Answer 3

First of all, Job thought that God was the one afflicting him, when in fact it was the devil. If you go back to chapter one in Job, look at the conversion between God and the devil. The devil saw something in Job's life which allowed him to attack Job. But he had to get permission from God first. Job's suffering came upon him as a resulf of his own fear and lack of trust in God. Read Job's comment in Job 3:25-26
