Job 40:1-9 ▼

1 <V 39:31>And the Lord continued, and he said to Job:

2 <V 39:32>Will he who contends with God be so easily silenced? Certainly, he who argues with God must also respond to him.

3 <V 39:33>Then Job answered the Lord, saying:

4 <V 39:34>What could I possibly answer, since I have been speaking thoughtlessly? I will place my hand over my mouth.

5 <V 39:35>One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said; and another, to which I will add no more.

6 <V 40:1>But the Lord, answering Job out of the whirlwind, said:

7 <V 40:2>Gird your waist like a man. I will question you, and you must answer me.

8 <V 40:3>Will you make my judgment null and void; and will you condemn me so that you may be justified?

9 <V 40:4>And do you have an arm like God, or a voice like thunder?
