| Job 40:3 | And Job said in answer to the Lord, | |||||||||||||||
| Job 40:4 | Truly, I am of no value; what answer may I give to you? I will put my hand on my mouth. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 40:5 | I have said once, and even twice, what was in my mind, but I will not do so again. | |||||||||||||||

| Job 40:7 | Get your strength together like a man of war: I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 40:8 | Will you even make my right of no value? will you say that I am wrong in order to make clear that you are right? | |||||||||||||||

| Job 40:10 | Put on the ornaments of your pride; be clothed with glory and power: | |||||||||||||||
