New International Version

Job 40:1-7 New International Version (NIV)

1. The Lord said to Job:

2. “Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!”

3. Then Job answered the Lord:

4. “I am unworthy—how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth.

5. I spoke once, but I have no answer— twice, but I will say no more.”

6. Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm:

7. “Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.
