1. The Lord then answered Job and said:
2. Will one who argues with the Almighty be corrected?Let him who would instruct God give answer!
3. Then Job answered the Lord and said:
4. Look, I am of little account; what can I answer you?I put my hand over my mouth.
5. I have spoken once, I will not reply;twice, but I will do so no more.
6. Then the Lord answered Job out of the storm and said:
7. Gird up your loins now, like a man.I will question you, and you tell me the answers!
8. Would you refuse to acknowledge my right?Would you condemn me that you may be justified?
