#### Special concepts in this chapter ####
##### Yahweh's power #####
While Bildad describes Yahweh's power as being so much greater than Job's, Job understands the true extent of Yahweh's power. It is not just over Job's life, but over all of creation.
#### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter ####
##### Sarcasm #####
Job uses sarcasm in this chapter. This is the use of irony to insult Bildad. (See: [Job 1-4](./01.md) and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-irony]])
