Job 40:7-9
New English Translation
7 “Get ready for a difficult task[a] like a man.
I will question you and you will inform me.
8 Would you indeed annul[b] my justice?
Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right?
9 Do you have an arm as powerful as God’s,[c]
and can you thunder with a voice like his?
Footnotes
- Job 40:7 tn See note on “task” in 38:3.
- Job 40:8 tn The verb פָּרַר (parar) means “to annul; to break; to frustrate.” It was one thing for Job to claim his own integrity, but it was another matter altogether to nullify God’s righteousness in the process.
- Job 40:9 tn Heb “do you have an arm like God?” The words “as powerful as” have been supplied in the translation to clarify the metaphor.
