What was the question "hav'Sod Eloka Tishma"?

1.

Malbim: When Hashem wanted to cause you to be born, to be the first man, He called His legion of angels and consulted with them how to create you. Did you hear His secret and counsel?!

2)

What is the meaning of "v'Sigra Elecha Chochmah"?

1.

Rashi: Do you increase Chochmah, to make it descend on you from above?

2.

Ibn Ezra #1: Was Chochmah lacking, and it needed you?!

3.

Ibn Ezra #2: Do you consider Chochmah inferior? The Sov in v'Sigra is because he addresses Iyov in second person.

4.

Devar Eliyahu (9): Will you diminish Chochmah from what it is, so you can take it to you?!

5.

Malbim: Do you consider Hashem's Chochmah inferior? His counsel was not good - you would have counseled to create you in a better way? This is an awesome metaphor. After so many generations of people passed, and also before man's creation mountains and hills were formed - one cannot investigate [the magnitude of] His Chochmah - will you complain about man's creation?! It is as if you are wiser than all the generations, and Hashem who created everything, and you want Him to regret His deed and change all nature like your counsel and desire?! This is the ultimate folly!
