Job 40:1-10 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. The Lord continued,

2. "I am the Mighty One. Will the man who argues with me correct me? Let him who brings charges against me answer me!"

3. Job replied to the Lord,

4. "I'm not worthy. How can I reply to you? I'm putting my hand over my mouth. I'll stop talking.

5. I spoke once. But I really don't have any answer. I spoke twice. But I won't say anything else."

6. Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said,

7. "Get ready to stand up for yourself. I will ask you some more questions. Then I want you to answer me.

8. "Would you dare to claim that I am not being fair? Would you judge me in order to make yourself seem right?

9. Is your arm as powerful as mine is? Can your voice thunder as mine does?

10. Then put on glory and beauty as if they were your clothes. Also put honor and majesty on.
