Job 40:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 Gird up your loins now, like a man.
I will question you, and you tell me the answers!
8 [a]Would you refuse to acknowledge my right?
Would you condemn me that you may be justified?
9 Have you an arm like that of God,
or can you thunder with a voice like his?
