Job 40:7

Humility

5 I have spoken once, but I have no answer— twice, but I have nothing to add.”

6 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

“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?

9 Do you have an arm like God’s? Can you thunder with a voice like His?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
