World English Bible

"Behold, I am of small account. What shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.

Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one [that is] proud, and abase him.

Look on every one [that is] proud, [and] bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

Hide them in the dust together; [and] bind their faces in secret.

Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
