Think about where we are in the book. If you move straight from Job's final speech in chapter 31 to God's reply in chapter 38, then God's reply would sound almost cruel.
After all, God will do precisely what Job feared God would do: he will overwhelm Job with his power and presence!
It would have been even more overwhelming if he was not first set up by the court fool – the jester who parodies the king and his courtiers.
When I call Elihu the jester, I am not suggesting that you can ignore what Elihu says! The court fool is rarely an idiot! He parodies the king and his courtiers – but often he reveals important truths through his foolery.
