The Storm of the Lord

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: "Who is this who darkens counsel by [speaking] words without knowledge? Now gird up your loins like a man: I will demand [a response] of you, and you will answer me...

Once more the Lord answered Job, and said, "Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? He that reproves God, let him answer it".

Then Job answered the Lord, and said, "Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer? I will lay my hand over my mouth. Once I have spoken; but I will not answer: yes, twice; but I will proceed no further".

Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, "Now gird up your loins like a man: I will demand of you and you will answer me...

Then Job answered the Lord, and said, "I know that you can do all things, and that no thought can be withheld from you. Who is he that hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered that which I had not understood; things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. Hear, I implore you, and I will speak: I will demand of you, and you will answer me. My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.
