He who brebukes God, let him answer it.”  

Job’s Response to God

3 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
4 “Behold,a I am vile;
What shall I answer You?
bI lay my hand over my mouth. 
5 Once I have spoken, but I will not answer;
Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”

God’s Challenge to Job

6 aThen the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: 
7 “Now1a prepare yourself like a man;
bI will question you, and you shall answer Me: 
8 “Woulda 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 aa voice like His? 
10 aThen 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 aproud, 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 you
That your own right hand can save you.
15 “Look now at the1 behemoth, which I made along with you;
He eats grass like an ox. 
16 See now, his strength is in his hips,
And his power is in his stomach muscles.
