Job 39:30–40:5

³⁰Its young ones suck up blood,

and where the slain are, there it is.”^*

⁴⁰And the Lord said to Job:

²“Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty?ⁿ

Anyone who argues with God must respond.”^*

Job’s Response to God

³Then Job answered the Lord:

⁴“See, I am of small account; what shall I answer you?

I lay my hand on my mouth.^*

⁵I have spoken once, and I will not answer,

twice but will proceed no further.”^*
