1. Moreover, the Lord answered Job and said,
2. Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? Let him that disputes with God answer this.
3. Then Job answered the Lord and said,
4. Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand over my mouth.
5. Once I have spoken; but I will not answer; even twice, but I will proceed no further.
6. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,
7. Gird up thy loins now like a man; I will ask thee, and explain thou unto me.
8. Wilt thou disannul my judgment? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou may be justified?
9. Hast thou an arm like God? And 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 bring him down.
12. Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
