Job 40:6
4 “Behold, I am insignificant. How can I reply to You? I place my hand over my mouth.
5 I have spoken once, but I have no answer— twice, but I have nothing to add.”
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
7 “Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.
8 Would you really annul My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?
