Job 40:1-8
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 40

1Then the Lord said to Job,
2'Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who rebukes God give an answer.'
3Then Job answered the Lord and said,
4'Behold, I am insignificant; what can I say in response to You? I put my hand on my mouth. 5I have spoken once, and I will not reply; Or twice, and I will add nothing more.'
6Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind and said,
7'Now tighten the belt on your waist like a man; I will ask you, and you instruct Me. 8Will you really nullify My judgment? Will you condemn Me so that you may be justified?
King James Version

Chapter 40

1Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said, 2Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
3Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
4Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
5Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. 6Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 7Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
8Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 40

1The Lord answered Job:
2Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who argues with God give an answer.
3Then Job answered the Lord:
4I am so insignificant. How can I answer you? I place my hand over my mouth. 5I have spoken once, and I will not reply; twice, but now I can add nothing.
6Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:
7Get ready to answer me like a man; When I question you, you will inform me. 8Would you really challenge my justice? Would you declare me guilty to justify yourself?
New Living Translation

Chapter 40

1Then the Lord said to Job,
2'Do you still want to argue with the Almighty? You are God’s critic, but do you have the answers?'
3Then Job replied to the Lord,
4'I am nothing — how could I ever find the answers? I will cover my mouth with my hand. 5I have said too much already. I have nothing more to say.'
6Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:
7'Brace yourself like a man, because I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.
8'Will you discredit my justice and condemn me just to prove you are right?
English Standard Version

Chapter 40

1And the Lord said to Job:
2"Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it." 3Then Job answered the Lord and said:
4"Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth. 5I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further." 6Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
7 "Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me. 8Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?
New International Version

Chapter 40

1The Lord said to Job:
2"Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!"
3Then Job answered the Lord:
4"I am unworthy—how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth. 5I spoke once, but I have no answer— twice, but I will say no more."
6Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm:
7"Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. 8"Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself?
New King James Version

Chapter 40

1Moreover 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.”
3Then Job answered the Lord and said:
4“Behold, I am vile; What shall I answer You? I lay my hand over my mouth. 5Once I have spoken, but I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
6Then 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?
