Job 40:1-12 ▼

1 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,

2 Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty? he that argueth with God, let him answer it.

3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

4 Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer thee? I lay mine hand upon my mouth.

5 Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; yea twice, but I will proceed no further.

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

7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

8 Wilt thou even disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be justified?

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

10 Deck thyself now with excellency and dignity; and array thyself with honour and majesty.

11 Pour forth the overflowings of thine anger: and look upon every one that is proud, and abase him.

12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked where they stand.
