Reading Job chapter 40 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.
Verses 1–10
1 And Jehovah answered Job and said,
2 Shall he that will contend with the Almighty instruct [him]? he that reprovethGod, let him answer it.
3 And Job answered Jehovah and said,
4 Behold, I am nought: what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
5 Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; yea twice, but I will proceed no further.
6 And Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,
7 Gird up now thy loins like a man: I will demand of thee, and inform thou me.
8 Wilt thou also annul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me that thou mayest be righteous?
9 Hast thou an arm likeGod? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
10 Deck thyself now with glory and excellency, and clothe thyself with majesty and splendour.
