Job 40:1-12 ▼

1 And the LORD said to Job:

2 “Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who argues with God give an answer.”

3 Then Job answered the LORD:

4 “Behold, I am insignificant. How can I reply to You? I place my hand over my mouth.

5 I have spoken once, but I have no answer—twice, but I have nothing to add.”

6 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

7 “Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.

8 Would you really annul My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?

9 Do you have an arm like God’s? Can you thunder with a voice like His?

10 Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.

11 Unleash the fury of your wrath; look on every proud man and bring him low.

12 Look on every proud man and humble him; trample the wicked where they stand.
