1. The Lord continued to respond to Job:
2. Will the one who disputes with the Almighty correct him?God’s instructor must answer him.
3. Job responded to the Lord:
4. Look, I’m of little worth. What can I answer you?I’ll put my hand over my mouth.
5. I have spoken once, I won’t answer;twice, I won’t do it again.
6. The Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:
7. Prepare yourself like a man;I will interrogate you, and you will respond to me.
8. Would you question my justice,deem me guilty so you can be innocent?
9. Or do you have an arm like God;can you thunder with a voice like him?
10. Adorn yourself with splendor and majesty;clothe yourself with honor and esteem.
11. Unleash your raging anger;look on all the proud and humble them.
12. Look on all the proud and debase them;trample the wicked in their place.
