Job's story is well known as that part of the Bible you read to give yourself hope in dreadful sickness. The tale is simple. Job gets sick. His friends come and console him by telling truths about the world that don't apply to him. He asks God to explain what the devil happened. And God does.
That verse up there... that's God talking to Job. He's basically established that He is God and whatever He does is good, that He is all-powerful and that He knows what is going on in Job's life. As He does this, He challenges Job. "What do you trust in? Oxen? Money? Servants?"
"Is that what you're going to rely on?" He's asking. "I'm your God. I made those things, to show that I love you. So, what'll it be?"
