Job 40:1-8 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. And the Lord said to Job:

2. “Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty?He who argues with God, let him answer it.”

3. Then Job answered the Lord and said:

4. “Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.

5. I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further.”

6. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

7. “Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me.

8. Will you even put me in the wrong?Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?
