Job 40:1-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

40 Moreover, the Lord said to Job,

² Shall he who would find fault with the Almighty contend with Him? He who disputes with God, let him answer it.

³ Then Job replied to the Lord:

⁴ Behold, I am of small account and vile! What shall I answer You? I lay my hand upon my mouth.^(A)

⁵ I have spoken once, but I will not reply again—indeed, twice [have I answered], but I will proceed no further.

⁶ Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, saying,

⁷ Gird up your loins now like a man; I will demand of you, and you answer Me.

⁸ Will you also annul (set aside and render void) My judgment? Will you condemn Me [your God], that you may [appear] righteous and justified?

⁹ Have you an arm like God? Or can you thunder with a voice like His?
