Let him who reproves God answer it." | 2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. | 2 Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it. | 2 Shall he that contendeth with God be so easily silenced? surely he that reproveth God, ought to answer him. | 2 Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of God, let him answer it. | 3 Then Job answered the LORD and said, | 3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said, | 3 Then Job answered Jehovah, and said, | 3 Then Job answered the Lord, and said : | 3 And Job answereth Jehovah, and saith: -- | 4 "Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to You? I lay my hand on my mouth. | 4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. | 4 Behold, I am of small account; What shall I answer thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth. | 4 | 4 Lo, I have been vile, What do I return to Thee? My hand I have placed on my mouth. | 5 "Once I have spoken, and I will not answer; Even twice, and I will add nothing more." | 5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. | 5 Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; Yea, twice, but I will proceed no further. | 5 One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said : and another, to which I will add no more. | 5 Once I have spoken, and I answer not, And twice, and I add not. | God Questions Job |
