Job 40:1-5

Job 40:1-5. Effect of the Divine Speech on Job

As if the purpose of the preceding survey of Creation might be lost in the brilliancy of the individual parts of it, the Divine Speaker gathers up its general effect and brings it to bear on Job directly, demanding whether he will persevere in his contention with Jehovah; will the reprover contend with the Almighty? Job 40:1.

Job is abased by the glory of God which He has made to pass before him, and brought to silence I am too mean, what shall I answer thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth; Job 40:3.
