Job 40:1-12 ▼

1 And YHWH answers Job and says:

2 “Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of God, let him answer it.”

3 And Job answers YHWH and says:

4 “Behold, I have been vile, || What do I return to You? I have placed my hand on my mouth.

5 I have spoken once, and I do not answer, || And twice, and I do not add.”

6 And YHWH answers Job out of the whirlwind and says:

7 “Now gird your loins as a man, || I ask you, and you cause Me to know.

8 Do you also make My judgment void? Do you condemn Me, || That you may be righteous?

9 And do you have an arm like God? And do you thunder with a voice like His?

10 Now put on excellence and loftiness, || Indeed, put on splendor and beauty.

11 Scatter abroad the wrath of your anger, || And see every proud one, and make him low.

12 See every proud one—humble him, || And tread down the wicked in their place.
