1. Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said:
2. “Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him?He who rebukes God, let him answer it.”
3. Then Job answered the Lord and said:
4. “Behold, I am vile;What shall I answer You?I lay my hand over my mouth.
5. Once I have spoken, but I will not answer;Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
6. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
7. “Now prepare yourself like a man;I will question you, and you shall answer Me:
8. “Would you indeed annul My judgment?Would you condemn Me that you may be justified?
9. Have you an arm like God?Or can you thunder with a voice like His?
10. Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor,And array yourself with glory and beauty.
11. Disperse the rage of your wrath;Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him.
12. Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low;Tread down the wicked in their place.
13. Hide them in the dust together,Bind their faces in hidden darkness.
14. Then I will also confess to youThat your own right hand can save you.
15. “Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you;He eats grass like an ox.
