God Questions Job

1

Moreover Jehovah 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 Jehovah, and said,

4

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

5

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

6

Then Jehovah 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 annul 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 honor 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.

13

Hide them in the dust together; Bind their faces in the hiddenplace.

14

Then will I also confess of thee That thine own right hand can save thee.
