New King James Version

Job 40:1-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

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?
