Job 40:1-12 ▼

1 And YHWH answered Job and said,

2 “Is a reprover to contend with Shaddai? One rebuking God, let him answer it.”

3 And Job answered YHWH and said,

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

5 Once I have spoken, and I will not answer—and twice, and I will not add.”

6 And YHWH answered Job from the whirlwind, and He said,

7 “Gird up now your loins like a man; I will question you, and you shall let Me know.

8 Would you even break My judgment? Would you consider Me wicked so that you may be proved right?

9 Is there an arm like God’s unto you? Or with a voice like His can you thunder?

10 Adorn yourself, please, with majesty and loftiness, and with honor and glory clothe yourself.

11 Scatter the fury of your nose, and look on every proud one, and bring him low.

12 Look on every proud one, and humble him; and tread down the wicked in their place.
