Job 40:1-12 ▼

1 The LORD answered Job:

2 Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who argues with God give an answer.

3 Then Job answered the LORD:

4 I am so insignificant. How can I answer you? I place my hand over my mouth.

5 I have spoken once, and I will not reply; twice, but now I can add nothing.

6 Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:

7 Get ready to answer me like a man; When I question you, you will inform me.

8 Would you really challenge my justice? Would you declare me guilty to justify yourself?

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

10 Adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.

11 Pour out your raging anger; look on every proud person and humiliate him.

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