Job 40:1-14

Job 40:1-14 NCV

The LORD said to Job: “Will the person who argues with the Almighty correct him? Let the person who accuses God answer him.” Then Job answered the LORD: “I am not worthy; I cannot answer you anything, so I will put my hand over my mouth. I spoke one time, but I will not answer again; I even spoke two times, but I will say nothing more.” Then the LORD spoke to Job from the storm: “Be strong, like a man! I will ask you questions, and you must answer me. Would you say that I am unfair? Would you blame me to make yourself look right? Are you as strong as God? Can your voice thunder like his? If so, then decorate yourself with glory and beauty; dress in honor and greatness as if they were clothing. Let your great anger punish; look at the proud and bring them down. Look at the proud and make them humble. Crush the wicked wherever they are. Bury them all in the dirt together; cover their faces in the grave. If you can do that, then I myself will praise you, because you are strong enough to save yourself.
