Job 40:1-12 ▼

1 And the Lord went on, and said to Job :

2 Shall he that contendeth with God be so easily silenced? surely he that reproveth God, ought to answer him.

3 Then Job answered the Lord, and said :

4

5 One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said : and another, to which I will add no more.

6 And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said :

7 Gird up thy loins like a man : I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.

8 Wilt thou make void my judgment : and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?

9 And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

10 Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high and be glorious, and put on goodly garments.

11 Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him.

12 Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place.
