Job 40:1
1 Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said:
Job 40:2
2
“Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him?
He who rebukes God, let him answer it.”
Job 40:3-5
3 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
4
“Behold, I am vile;
What shall I answer You?
I lay my hand over my mouth.
5
Once I have spoken, but I will not answer;
Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
Job 40:6
6 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
Job 40:7
7
“Now prepare yourself like a man;
I will question you, and you shall answer Me:
Moreover God answered Job:
“Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him?
He who rebukes God, let him answer it.”
Then Job answered the Lord:
“Behold, I am vile;
What shall I answer You?
I lay my hand over my mouth.
Once I have spoken, but I will not answer;
Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
Then God answered Job out of the whirlwind:
“Now prepare yourself like a man;
I will question you, and you shall answer Me:
“Would you indeed annul (nullify) My judgment?
Would you condemn Me that you may be justified?
Have you an arm like God?
Or can you thunder with a voice like His?
Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor,
And array yourself with glory and beauty.
Disperse the rage of your wrath;
Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him.
Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low;
Tread down the wicked in their place.
Hide them in the dust together,
Bind their faces in hidden darkness.
Then I will also confess to you
That your own right hand can save you.
