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?
9. Have you an arm like that of God,or can you thunder with a voice like his?
