Job 40:6-8
New English Translation
The Lord’s Second Speech[a]
6 Then the Lord answered[b] Job from the whirlwind:
7 “Get ready for a difficult task[c] like a man.
I will question you and you will inform me.
8 Would you indeed annul[d] my justice?
Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right?
Footnotes
- Job 40:6 sn The speech can be divided into three parts: the invitation to Job to assume the throne and rule the world (40:7-14), the description of Behemoth (40:15-24), and the description of Leviathan (41:1-34).
- Job 40:6 sn See note at Job 38:1.
- Job 40:7 tn See note on “task” in 38:3.
- Job 40:8 tn The verb פָּרַר (parar) means “to annul; to break; to frustrate.” It was one thing for Job to claim his own integrity, but it was another matter altogether to nullify God’s righteousness in the process.
