1. And Jehovah answered Job and said,
2. Shall he that will contend with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth +God let him answer it.
3. And Job answered Jehovah and said,
4. Behold, I am nought: what shall I answer thee? I will 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. And Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,
7. Gird up now thy loins like a man: I will demand of thee, and inform thou me.
8. Wilt thou also annul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me that thou mayest be righteous?
