God Questions Job

1

¶ Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,

2

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

3

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

4

Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

5

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

6

¶ Then answered the LORD unto 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 also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

9

Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

10

Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

11

Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold 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 in their place.

13

Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

14

Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
