se dirigió a (Directed Himself To)” [Spanish Jerusalem Bible Series - Job sub-series - # Job 38:1] [Pandemic Series]

I find it interesting here –
The author seeks to make it clear
That Yahvé (God) directs Himself
To Job, the man who lost his wealth.

We’ve seen it was out from the storm
God chose to speak – He did not scorn
To speak with Job in troubled mess,
As He with us, I must confess.

But here I find of interest, this –
That God will choose to speak, not miss
This opening to speak to one
Of five on hand – speaks ’till He’s done.

He speaks to others later on,
But here, to Job, whose things are gone;
It will be interesting now
To hear God’s words – as we’re allowed.

Then ask, “What relevance to us,
Like in pandemic’s current fuss?”
Does God, will God, direct Himself
To one of us – how can we tell?

Thanks Lord for Your directed voice
To one or other of Your choice;
Help us keep open to these words,
That through this text You might be heard.

Thanks Lord for this.
