Job 40:1-8 New Century Version (NCV)

1. The Lord said to Job:

2. “Will the person who argues with the Almighty correct him?Let the person who accuses God answer him.”

3. Then Job answered the Lord:

4. “I am not worthy; I cannot answer you anything,so I will put my hand over my mouth.

5. I spoke one time, but I will not answer again;I even spoke two times, but I will say nothing more.”

6. Then the Lord spoke to Job from the storm:

7. “Be strong, like a man!I will ask you questions,and you must answer me.

8. Would you say that I am unfair?Would you blame me to make yourself look right?
